About

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 world's 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.
