Lonely Planet review for Stax Museum of American Soul Music

Wanna get funky? Head directly to Soulsville USA, where the 17,000-sq-ft Stax Museum of American Soul Music sits on the site of the old Stax recording studio. This venerable spot was soul music's epicenter in the 1960s, when Otis Redding, Booker T and the MGs and Wilson Pickett recorded here. Dive into soul-music history with photos, displays of '60s and '70s peacock clothing and, above all, Isaac Hayes' 1972 Superfly Cadillac outfitted with shag-fur carpeting and 24-karat-gold exterior trim.
