The Memphis Sessions is American musician Rick Nelson's final studio album. It was released posthumously in May 1986. Nelson recorded it in 1978–79 in Memphis, Tennessee. A few months after Nelson's death, CBS hired Nashville producer Steve Buckingham to replace the original drum and lead guitar tracks and remix the material. Guitar player John Beland thought that the record label ruined Nelson's material.
The Real Gone Music label included the album in the 2012 The Complete Epic Recordings box set. Bear Family included the album in the 2010 The Last Time Around box set.
The album charted for four weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums, peaking at No. 62.
