5.0

Just as it's predecessor Detroit 67 did, Cosgrove focuses on the seismic events that overwhelmed Memphis in 1968 to create a marvellous narrative around the music of the city and how that interacted with the wider world.

Essential reading not only for fans of the music but also for those interested a more street-level view of Memphis.

Looking forward immensely to the final part of this trilogy of books.
