Stax Records

We are always on the lookout for free things to do in Memphis.  This week we headed to Stax Records, also the home of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.


It didn't look like much on the outside, but this was a really extensive museum.  They had great exhibits.  I recognized names like Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, both Stax Records artists, but most of the content of the museum was foreign to me.  Even though we didn't know much about the artists, it still was really entertaining.  Some of the highlights were a Soul Train dance floor and Isaac Hayes' restored 1972 Cadillac El Dorado.
