==Development and recording==
When Sebastian decided to record an album of Memphis soul classics it was suggested by Universal Music Publishing that Steve Cropper should be contacted to see if he would like to be involved. Cropper was interested, and he arranged for the other two members of The Mgs Donald 'Duck' Dunn and Steve Potts to participate.〔(Steve Cropper talks about how he first became involved in The Memphis Album ). Myspace Videos. Retrieved 23 January 2015.〕 He also called in Lester Snell, who is a mainstay Memphis organ/keyboard player who has worked with artists including Eddie Floyd, David Porter and Isaac Hayes.〔(Shirley Brown ). soulexpress.net. Archived from (the original ) on 25 January 2012.〕 ''The Memphis Album'' was recorded live on analogue tape at Ardent Studios Memphis in August 2007. The recording engineer Curry Weber explained the reason for this on AllMemphisMusic, an online Memphis radio station, "Going to tape is just such a richer and warmer tone when you hit it first of all. Not a lot of guys these days are talented enough to go to tape, cause it's so definitive and destructive. When you're on tape, it's on tape, and it's really hard to go in and fix a bunch of stuff like you can with computer these days."〔(Curry Weber Studio Engineer talks about the Memphis Album ).

Sebastian wrote about his time recording in Memphis in a series of blogs in Australian newspapers. "I started recording four days ago with the band members from Booker T and the MGs. And in the four days, we cut 15 tracks. It's been such a great experience to watch these guys work. () I would show them which song I wanted to record. After listening to any changes I had, we would all go into the live room. Everyone would hop to their instruments I'd hop in the vocal booth. We would just hit record button without a rehearsal and everyone would nail it nearly every time."〔Sebastian, Guy (29 August 2007). (Guy's Memphis Diary – Week 4 ). ''Sunday Herald Sun''. Archived from (the original ) on 21 January 2012.〕 Cropper later spoke on AllMemphisMusic about working with Sebastian. "Needless to say I've done a lot of things in my career, had a lot of fun, but we had more fun working with this young guy who just sings the rings around everything. () this kid came into Memphis, and just blew everybody's socks off. He had the grit and the grime and the soul of Otis Redding, and he had the sweet soul of Al Green, he had the wonderful sweet church sound of Sam Cooke, and he just took us by storm."〔(Steve Cropper talks about Guy Sebastian and The Memphis Album ) MySpace Videos.
