| Abstract | The gravesites of well-known musicians such as Guitar Slim, Bill Monroe, Tammy Wynette, Duane Allman and Mahalia Jackson are visited in this reference work, as well as the final resting places of dozens of less well known but vitally important American musicians. Many photographs of gravesites are included, along with specific directions to burial sites. The book is especially thorough in relation to the most important cities in Southern music - Nashville, New Orleans and Memphis. There are numerous side trips through Cajun country, blues-related sites in Mississippi, old time country musicians' graves throughout Alabama and North Carolina, and many other places. |
