Just be sure and take US-72A thru Decatur AL, and I-565 thru Huntsville AL. Most all of US-72/72A thru Alabama is 4-lane divided with a 65mph speed limit.
X2! The road is almost all excellent 4 lane from Memphis through Decatur, Huntsville and Scottsboro to I24 in Tennessee , except for a short section of good 2 lane near the TN and MS state line. The only area with many traffic lights between Memphis and Florence AL is in Corinth, MS even that is not bad.
If you come through Memphis be sure to take 385 from I240 to 72. You will regret driving through the Germantown area.
