Memphis Boys chronicles the story of the rhythm section at Chips
Moman's American Studios from 1964, when the group began working
together, until 1972, when Moman shut down the studio and moved the
entire operation to Atlanta. Utilizing extensive interviews with
Moman and the group, as well as additional comments from the
songwriters, sound engineers, and office staff, author Roben Jones
creates a collective biography combined with a business history and
a critical analysis of important recordings. She reveals how the
personalities of the core group meshed, how they regarded
newcomers, and how their personal and musical philosophies blended
with Moman's vision to create timeless music based on themes of
suffering and sorrow. Recording sessions with Elvis Presley, the
Gentrys, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, the Box Tops, Joe Tex,
Neil Diamond, B. J. Thomas, Dionne Warwick, and many others come
alive in this book. Jones provides the stories behind memorable
songs composed by group writers, such as "The Letter," "Dark End of
the Street," "Do Right Woman," "Breakfast in Bed," and "You Were
Always on My Mind." Featuring photographs, personal profiles, and a
suggested listening section, Memphis Boys details a significant
phase of American music and the impact of one amazing studio. Roben
Jones of Gallipolis, Ohio, has published poetry in various
magazines and in Wild Sweet Notes: Fifty Years of West Virginia
Poetry, 1950-1999.
