On this episode of Memphis Musicology, we take a survey of some of the most dynamic and important instrumental tracks to come out of the Bluff City in the past 60 years, from early rockabilly numbers all the way up to modern hip-hop beats. We also head to The Crate to dissect Gimmer Nicholson’s 1968 instrumental masterpiece Christopher Idylls, an album that despite being unreleased for years still managed to deeply influence the music of Big Star and others.
