Join us for an unforgettable journey through America's musical heartland, from the cradle of the blues and Dixieland jazz, the birthplace of the 'King' and the Tennessee city in which he made his home, to the undisputed capital of Country Music! Beginning in Georgia and then sweeping through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, you'll discover the world of WC Handy, Robert Johnson, 'Fats' Domino, Chuck Berry, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline and of course Elvis Presley. You'll visit New Orleans - the 'Big Easy' with its fabled French Quarter; soak up the atmosphere of thriving Memphis, site of legendary Sun Studio, Elvis fabled home Graceland and famous Beale Street, and after a visit to Tupelo where the 'King' was born in 1935, spend two nights in the Music City of Nashville, home to the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Against a background that stretches from the flat Mississippi Delta and swampland, through cotton fields to the wooded hills of Tennessee, and infused with the 'smell of the South', this will be a holiday to savour for not just music lovers.
