Might I join this thread for some advice please?

We are looking at a trip next April, perhaps flying into either Nashville and driving south to New Orleans via Memphis and back another route; or stating in New Orleans and doing the same thing starting in the south.

We are interested in hearing some live music, and perhaps seeing some historic buildings and sights that would educate us a bit about the South and the civil war (we are from the UK). Big tourist crowds, halls of fame etc are of less interest. A loop trip is probably needed because we like to rent electric vehicles and these currently can’t be done one-way.

A very helpful contributor in another FT forum suggested this route via Memphis going South and the Mississippi Delta on the way back, which we think looks interesting: https://goo.gl/maps/WiUqu8dY9FUFJP9S6

Any thoughts from those of you who know the area? In particular, how long should we allocate for such a trip? We were thinking about 10 days, which would give us 2-3 days in each of New Orleans and Nashville and a couple of days each way for the journey/stops in between (driving about 4-5 hours a day). Does that sound do-able?

Any thoughts welcome - thanks
