Tennessee
Modern music was spawned in the state of Tennessee, home of Elvis Presley, and birthplace of the genres of country, blues and rock ‘n roll. The musical heritage of this little land-locked state is the main draw for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who holiday in Tennessee, particularly in the toe-tapping cities of Memphismore and Nashville. The countryside is appealing too, filled with lakes, trails and the ridges of the Smoky Mountains in the east on the border with North Carolina.
