Cover art for Memphis in the Meantime lyrics by John Hiatt

He's tired of Nashville and the country music trappings and wants to go to Memphis to hear blues based music that is a little more edgy and urban. It's always intrigued me that Tennessee has Nashville in the east in the Appalachian foothills and Memphis in the west in the heart of the Mississippi river. That's quite the combination for one little state.
