About Tennessee
Tennessee is closely tied to American music history — Nashville is known as "Music City" for its country music industry, while Memphis is where Sun Studio helped launch the career of Elvis Presley. The state also has an unusual three-way geographic and cultural divide between its eastern, middle, and western regions.
