Fantastic read, lots of interesting stuff not only about the music but the people, the city and the politics of that time ... this is a book that I will pick up many times in my life, look forward also to Memphis 68.

Keep up the great work Stuart, I had to giggle at the thought of James Jamerson with a Scottish accent .... :lol: 

Would be nice to find out who the young soldier is on the front of the cover and what happened to him .... :yes:

Great little film. Cosgrove comes across very well indeed.

One of the very small number of commentators on this thing of ours that doesn't have me hiding behind a cushion when arriving on screen.

Have to say that it is a gripping book....I would recommend it to anyone with more than a passing interest in the subject.
