This really cool painting of Albert King can be found in Center Alley between Union Avenue and Monroe Avenue in downtown Memphis. Although there is no attribution on it, it looks like Lamar Sorrento’s work. #MemphisRising
The Center For Southern Folklore is a cool blues venue and shop in downtown Memphis. It’s a great place to hear live blues, soul, jazz or gospel, enjoy a cold beverage or purchase books and CDs about Memphis music and history.
