The rivers of America have long served as channels for spreading the music of the nation, whether it has been the sound of Kentucky bluegrass, Delta blues, or the rock and soul of Memphis. Through countless performances aboard American Queen Steamboat Company’s vessels, Lee Greenwood’s famed country music and patriotic anthems have become a great combination with the rhythms of the river.
