In conjunction with Elvis Week and in partnership with the Memphis Music Foundation, iTunes has launched a Memphis-specific site as part of its music store — iTunes.com/MemphisMusic.
This “selection of Memphis’ best music from the past and present” is divided into four content areas: Modern Era, Rock & Roll, R&B/Soul, and Blues. In the “modern” section, new releases from Justin Timberlake, Valerie June, Lucero, and the Oblivians are among the leading titles.
Memphis becomes the first city to have its own spotlight with the ubiquitous music provider, and one that will continue and will be updated beyond this week, extending at least through October, which the foundation has, in recent years, christened “Memphis Music Month.”
