I am in charge of planning my riding crew's 2018 moto-vacation. I had a thought that I would like to combine my love of riding, food, and music into a week-long tour of American music.
My plan, as it stands now is to go from Chicago to Memphis, TN to Clarksdale, MS (maybe to Cleveland, MS) to Tupelo, MS to Muscle Shoals, AL to Nashville, TN to Owensboro, KY and then back home. All of those stopping points are significant locations in the history of blues, country, and bluegrass, although I confess to enjoying music more than knowing about its roots. That's where you may be able to help me.
I'm looking for points of interest, places to eat, and lodging ideas along that root. I think we will be staying (among other places) in Memphis, Greenwood, MS, Muscle Shoals, and Nashville. Probably stopping at French Lick, IN after Owensboro. OH...and routes! If you have good roads to suggest in any of these areas, please speak up.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to reading your responses.

A lot of great music and food in Memphis. Beal St and downtown get a lot of tourist business, but I would recommend the Mid-Town area; Cooper-Young and Overton Square areas. Lafayette's Music room is great. The Levitt Shell has free concerts that are awesome. I would recommend going to Clarksdale, MS, not so much Greenwood.
