Many genres of music--including the blues, bluegrass, country, rock and roll, and gospel--have roots in the American South, and the region has nurtured some of the worldʼs most famous and talented musicians--from Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn to Elvis Presley and B.B. King.
Seddiqui--dubbed "the Most Traveled Person in America"--leads readers on an experience-based travel journey through the music of the South. The curated itinerary features - stops in Lexington, the hollers of eastern Kentucky, Bristol, Pigeon Forge, Nashville, Memphis, the Mississippi Delta, New Orleans, Lafayette, Houston, and Austin; - fun, hands-on learning opportunities--from taking a line-dancing class to hand-crafting an instrument--that allow travelers to experience firsthand the music that flows through the region; - interviews with noted makers and musicians who provide insight into the region's craft and music traditions; and - information on lodging and other attractions that travelers should be sure not to miss as they jam their way through the South.
