Book Description
Playing for a Piece of the Door: A History of Garage and Frat Bands in Memphis 1960-75 is a candid history and discography of over one hundred bands who recorded at least one record in Memphis from 1960-75. From nationally charting groups like the Box Tops, Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs, the Gentrys and the Hombres to long-forgotten high school rockers who cut a record, had their fifteen minutes of fame, and then faded away, every Memphis garage band is included. Includes many unpublished photos as well as a complete listing of all band members and discographies of each band. Though countless books have been written about Memphis Music–including Elvis, Stax, and the blues, this genre of Memphis music has never been exhaustively touched upon until now.
