Follow Me To Tennessee
There has been a number of similar books published over the years, so why another one? To put it simply, Memphis has changed quite considerably recently, and we feel it's time for a revised look at what Elvis-related sights the city still has to offer.
Over the last few years, many buildings have been imploded or destroyed, and it's a common myth that most of the old Elvis haunts are now gone. We aim to prove otherwise. Within its pages, this book will provide new information regarding a number of relatively unknown places, along with fresh information and photographs relating to some of the more well-known sights. Fans will also enjoy the recollections of some of Elvis' closest friends and associates (including Sam & Linda Thompson and Ginger Alden) - Something no other Elvis guidebook offers.
Although there are some excellent books aiming to provide the same service, most are inaccurate regarding factual information and directions. Due to years of intense research, many of the common errors have now been corrected, and previous out-of-date information has been refreshed.
During our many visits, we have found that there is so much to see in Memphis, but so few manage even a fraction of what should be experienced. Either they don't know about such places, or they're not confident enough to stray off the beaten track. Memphis still has so much to offer the hundreds of thousands of Elvis fans who visit annually, and with this book, they'll be able to get so much more from their trip.
As well as written directions along side each place featured in this book, we've printed simple maps enabling the reader to easily find their chosen places of interest.
Whether looking forward to a once-in-a-lifetime visit to the King's hometown, or planning a return visit, this is the book that should be taken on that flight. It's the most comprehensive guide to Elvis' Memphis yet.
Even if a trip to Memphis isn't possible, we're sure you'll find this book a fascinating read - It's the next best thing to being there.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
