A chronicle of Elvis Presley's early years and his rise to fame, up
to his mother's death in 1958. Although Presley's later life saw an
inelegant descent into drug addiction, in his youth he comes over
as having been intelligent and lively, unconventional yet
respectable, and - above all - a highly talented musician even by
the age of 19. Guralnick, a true fan, also succeeds in conveying
Elvis's importance to American music as a whole. (Kirkus UK)
This is the first volume of a two-volume biography of Elvis
Presley, a book that justifies the importance of "The King" to
American music and culture. It covers Presley's rise up to his
mother's death in 1958. The Presley displayed is bright,
articulate, energetic - a young man in a hurry with a very real
sense of himself and his art, a man with a disdain for convention
and yet a yearning for genteel respectability. This is not the
Elvis Presley of tabloid headlines and chat show notoriety.
Instead, it restores Elvis to his music, telling the story of a
young man who, at 19, emerged as a full-blown artist to the wonder
of his friends and the world.
