Tennessee
Tennessee runs from Memphis on the Mississippi River to the Great Smoky Mountains on the North Carolina border, with Nashville roughly in the middle.
Nashville's honky-tonks on Broadway run live music from mid-morning until well past midnight, and the Country Music Hall of Fame covers the genre's full history. Memphis claims Beale Street and Sun Studio, where Elvis Presley recorded his first tracks. The Smokies, the most-visited national park in the country, sit at the state's eastern edge.
Barbecue styles shift noticeably as you move from Memphis to Nashville to Knoxville.
