Google Books
This is way cool!! Go to Google Books and get viewable excerpts from books. A search on Chips Moman gave 158 hits. American Sound Studio gave 9 hits. A search on Gene Chrisman gave 17 hits, but not all of them were 'our' Gene. Have fun with this site...but don't believe everything you read! And don't forget to use quotes around your search terms - this cuts out all the extraneous stuff.

American Studio Discography
Good discography site featuring (among many others) the output of the Goldwax (James Carr), Mala (Box Tops, Bobby Wood), and Bell (James & Bobby Purify and Oscar Toney, Jr) labels. These were some of American's earliest recordings from 1966-1968 (all the above appear under the Bell Label heading):

Or go here for the Minit Label (Bobby Womack's American Recordings):

Lots more here -- worth the effort!
