Tennessee
The State: Located in the southeast region of the USA, Tennessee is unique
in that it shares a border with eight States. Tennessee has always been a
melting pot of musical styles. From the eastern mountains came Appalachian
folk songs and Bluegrass, while Country music flowered in Nashville. Gospel,
Blues, Rockabilly, and ultimately, Rock ’n’ Roll, all stemmed
from the Mississippi belt. As well as being able to investigate the roots
of major popular music traditions, travellers will also find the world’s
largest Bible-producing business.
Nashville is a major music performance and recording centre and also boasts
a host of fine colleges and churches. To the southwest is Memphis, home of
the blues and the birthplace of Rock ’n’ Roll, near the Mississippi
border. Tennessee’s largest city and a major trading centre, Memphis
is known chiefly for being the location of Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley.
Historic Beale Street, featured in so many blues songs, is also in Memphis.
Barbecues reign supreme in this city, and the annual World Championship Barbecue
Cooking Contest takes place here every May.
Over on the southeastern side of the State, perched next to the Tennessee
River, is Chattanooga. This bustling city, with its train made famous by Glenn
Miller’s song ‘Chattanooga Choo Choo’, is also home to the
Hunter Museum of Art, and the Tennessee Aquarium, the largest freshwater aquarium
in the world.
More than half of Tennessee is forested, and great tracts have been set aside
as State and National parks, forests, wilderness areas and game preserves.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are the starting points for trips into the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park, as is the pleasant city of Knoxville, a former
State capital.
