"Sun Studio Perhaps no studio was more instrumental to the birth of rock ’n’ roll than this humble spot east of downtown. It was here that illustrious music producer Sam Phillips launched Elvis’s career and worked with an epic roster of recording artists, including blues legend Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and crooner Roy Orbison. On tours of Sun Studio, visitors can stand in the same spot where those stars made musical history, and even cut a record of their own by reserving a block of studio time after the museum closes for the evening. A free shuttle runs to and from Graceland so you can experience two musical landmarks in one trip."
