That's How I Got To Memphis

Mount Analog is the solo project of Grammy Nominated producer Tucker Martine. In this recording, record producer Martine (the Decemberists, Laura Veirs, Sufjan Stevens, Mudhoney), and his talented cast of Mount Analog--Steve Moore(Earth, Sunn0))))), Jon Hyde, Laura Veirs and Bruce Wirth pay tribute to Nashville style in its classic country aesthetic circa 1972. With Martine having grown up in Nashville, this single could be construed as a shout-out to his songwriter father Layng Martine, Jr. who's songs have been recorded by Elvis, the Pointer Sisters, Bo Diddley, Reba McEntire, Billy "Crash" Craddock and many more. It was the Tom T. Hall version of That's How I got to Memphis that first caught Martine's attention as a teenager, but folks like Lee Hazlewood, Buddy Miller and Bobby Bare have all made the song their own since. "I am such a huge fan of Karl's, I knew that he was the one to help our version stay true to the spirit of the original version I loved so much, while shining the light on it from a different angle," Martine states.
