"Superb." —The New York Times 

 Vienna in the 1880s. Paris in the 1920s. Memphis in the 1950s. These are the paradigm shifts of modern culture. Robert Gordon gets to the gritty heart of it in his updated and revised 25th Anniversary edition of It Came From Memphis. This new edition features more than 80 new photos, a new cover and layout, new chapters, a new foreword, afterword and updated buying recommendations from the author. Stars pass through—Elvis, Aretha, Jerry Lee—but this story’s emphasis is on the achievements of people like Alex Chilton, Jim Dickinson, Furry Lewis and wrestler Sputnik Monroe. This is a book about the weirdos, winos and midget wrestlers who forged the rock and roll spirit, unwittingly changing the fabric of America. Memphis changed the world, this book might change you.
