My Summer Vacation to Memphis

 

 

 

 

 

Stax Recording Studios

The site of the original Stax recording studio is now a must see museum. Soul artists just starting out recorded and refined their sound at Stax. Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, and Rufus Thomas were among the many to record here.

I learned about and bought a CD by Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Check her out, she was Johnny Cash's favorite guitar player.

It was very cool seeing the track sheets and the recording gear that they recorded "Shaft" on.

While we're visiting Recording Studios we'd better stop by the mother of them all...
