Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money.

With Frommer's in hand, you'll discover the highlights of two major capitals of American music: Nashville, country music's mecca, and Memphis, the city that gave birth to the blues. We'll take you to the hottest shows, and to sizzling nightclubs where you can two-step, hear the old masters play, or discover up-and-coming new talent. From the Grand Ol' Opry to the hallowed halls of Graceland, you'll walk in the footsteps of musical giants.

We've also got the lowdown on the region's best restaurants, serving everything from elegant New Southern cuisine to downhome barbecue. And you'll have a wide variety of accommodations to choose from: the classic Peabody, with its signature marching ducks; the bustling Opryland Hotel; B&Bs with true Southern hospitality; and reliable, affordable motels.

Detailed and accurate, it all comes complete with neighborhood maps; a complete shopping guide; the best trip-planning advice; and side trips to nearby distilleries and Civil War battlefields.

2.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's Nashville and Memphis, September 14, 2005

By	L. Beaton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Frommer's Nashville & Memphis (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

This was not a very good guidebook. The directions were not always accurate and the maps (a very important part of a guide book) were not very good. The book is poorly organized, so that you are constantly having to page through to find information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good overview, December 30, 2005

By	B. Philbrick (Kingfield, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Frommer's Nashville & Memphis (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

Although Memphis should have it's own book. This is a decent overview of both cities. If you are just planning to visit Memphis like I was, try Nicky Robertshaw's Memphis book. It is much more in depth

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Overview of Two Great Cities!, October 13, 2008

This review is from: Frommer's Nashville & Memphis (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

I didn't see Memphis but I wished that I had. I bought two books on Nashville and I believe this book is better suited for the tourist. I can't comment on Memphis. This book has maps, information, and plenty of resources in making your trip to Memphis and Nashville a lot easier. The book is more than adequate but both cities deserve their own book edition.
