Elvis Presley's clever manipulation of his numerous interests
remains one of the music world's great marvels. His synthesis of
country, rhythm & blues and gospel resulted in an inventive
mixture of hair-raising rock & roll and balladry. This book
focuses on the music of Presley's groundbreaking early years and
includes a comprehensive analysis of every Presley recording
session from the 1950s. Chapters show how Presley, with one foot in
delta mud and the other in a country hoedown, teamed with Scotty
Moore and Bill Black to fuse two distinctly American musical
forms-country and blues-to form what would come to be known as
"rockabilly." Also detailed is Presley's influence on music and how
his contributions are still celebrated today.
