James Music, Huntsville AL
James Music, formerly James Records and Tapes, is a legendary urban music institution on Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, which I honestly thought had closed. Instead, I learned that the building had suffered water damage and thus was closed for awhile, but is back open again. There is an especially good selection of rare vinyl, a section of local Huntsville rap artists, and a good selection of blues and southern soul.
Honoring the Memphis Horns at the Rock and Soul Museum
On Tuesday October 30, 2012, the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum (a Smithsonian institution) held a reception to honor the Memphis Horns at the opening of the Horn of Plenty exhibit in the museum. Sadly, Andrew Love passed away in April, but his family members were present, and Wayne Jackson was present. John Hornyak of the Memphis Recording Academy chapter and Memphis Mayor A. C. Wharton spoke. This was the most recent event in a year that has seen a flurry of belated honors for Memphis musicians.
