    Walking in Memphis" is a song written and originally recorded by American singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, for whom it remains his signature song. It received a Song of the Year nomination at the 34th Grammy Awards in 1992, the same year that the 32-year-old Cohn won the Grammy for Best New Artist.

    The song's lyrics are autobiographical, chronicling a 1985 trip that Cohn, then a struggling songwriter and singer, took to Memphis to overcome a bout of writer's block. After visiting the church where former soul singer Al Green was preaching, Elvis Presley's former home of Graceland, and a small nightclub in nearby Mississippi, as well as wandering various streets of downtown Memphis, he returned to New York and began composing the song. While writing and recording sessions continued through the late 1980s, his debut album, on which the song was the lead single, was not released until 1991.

    stubass - LV submitted. Nice job aligning the BVs track. Sounds pretty good now with BT muted. Nice work, everyone!

    Wow, I almost forgot about this one. Oh my - What have I gotten myself into?? You all have laid down some sweet tracks, so now it seems the pressure is on me to provide an equally good LV track. This will be some work for me. I haven't done anything yet, but will soon. I'll have to record line-by-line into my Studio One DAW first, then upload that audio to the collab. I'll get busy ASAP...
