We visited Sun Studio last Friday, before going to Graceland. I cannot recommend this attraction highly enough. Sun Studio had fallen into disuse and was a laundromat, a surf shop and a few other things, before being re established as a Studio. They have done such a super job recreating the studio and the upstairs exhibits in such a small space. Moving downstairs to the studio, you really feel like you are walking back in time. Stand in the studio where Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash recorded. Sam Phillips left to the studio an original microphone used by these leg ends, on the proviso that people could touch it and enjoy the link with history.

Fantastic place to visit - even the reluctant teenager I dragged along admitted this tour was the highlight of our visit to Memphis.
