We are thrilled to announce the imminent release of Memphis author and pop culture historian Ron Hall's newest and finest work! Memphis Rocks: A Concert History, 1955-1985 comes out Rocktober 31, 2014.  While this book is a fun-filled visual feast featuring concert ads, flyers, programs, and posters as well as 100s of unpublished, crazy-cool photographs from Memphis concerts, its best feature is that it is the original source for documenting Memphis' rich concert history--from the birth of rock 'n roll in the Sun and Meteor days through the folk-blues revival in the early '60s through the Soul Explosion of the mid-'60s with Stax and Hi to the arena rock era of the the '70s and the oncoming new wave punk explosion of the late '70s and early '80s. If you have ears & eyes and ever attended a live music event, this book is for you!!!! Order today!

I've been wondering whether any of the books mention a band called "Concrete and Stone" ...
