When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillips's
Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search
of a sound. Phillips invited a local guitarist named Scotty Moore
to stand in. Scotty listened carefully to the young singer and
immediately realized that Elvis had something special. Along with
bass player Bill Black, the trio recorded an old blues number
called "That's All Right, Mama." It turned out to be Elvis's first
single and the defining record of his early style, with a trilling
guitar hook that swirled country and blues together and minted a
sound with unforgettable appeal. Its success launched a whirlwind
of touring, radio appearances, and Elvis's first break into movies.
Scotty was there every step of the way as both guitarist and
manager, until Elvis's new manager, Colonel Tom Parker, pushed him
out. Scotty and Elvis would not perform together again until the
classic 1968 "comeback" television special. Scotty never saw Elvis
after that.
With both Bill Black and Elvis gone, Scotty Moore is the only
one left to tell the story of how Elvis and Scotty transformed
popular music and how Scotty created the sound that became a
prototype for so many rock guitarists to follow. Thoroughly
updated, this edition delivers guitarist Scotty Moore's story as
never before
