American Dream Safari
Tad Pierson will take you off the beaten path in style. His American Dream Safari tour company takes tourists and locals alike to the disappearing landmarks of Memphis rock and soul in his 1955 Cadillac. His knowledge of the city’s lore is legendary, going beyond Sun Records and Graceland to take his charges to places such as the Chadic dealership where Johnny Cash’s band once worked and Willie Mitchell’s studio where Al Green cut his landmark songs of the 1970s. The tours transform the city’s history from a dull recitation of half-remembered hits to a living, breathing legacy of a culture that transformed the world. As for Peirson, the man himself is as eccentric as his automotive choices, living in a warehouse filled with restored vintage antique Airstream trailers. But that’s Memphis for you: We take all kinds here.
