The song Walking in Memphis mentions the Delta Blues.
Player Say what!?
Go_Cowboys, Memphis wasn't mentioned because the Delta Blues music comes from the Mississippi Delta, in Mississippi. Leadbelly is a huge influence in this genre and was an influence on Dylan, Elvis and the Beatles. Also, Leadbelly was in prison in Mississippi for murder, serving a life term. The warden heard him playing and singing in his cell and was so impressed, told him he was setting him free so he "could go out and spread that music!"
