Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume tracks the first twenty-four years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records (\"That's All Right,\" \"Mystery Train\"), and the early RCA hits (\"Heartbreak Hotel,\" \"Hound Dog,\" \"Don't Be Cruel\"). These were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded wildly. There was scarcely a cloud in sight through this period until, in 1958, he was drafted into the army and his mother died shortly thereafter. The book closes on that somber and poignant note. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLast Train to Memphis\u003c\/i\u003e takes us deep inside Elvis' life, exploring his lifelong passion for music of every sort (from blues and gospel to Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza), his compelling affection for his family, and his intimate relationships with girlfriends, mentors, band members, professional associates, and friends. It shows us the loneliness, the trustfulness, the voracious appetite for experience, and above all the unshakable, almost mystical faith that Elvis had in himself and his music. Drawing frequently on Elvis' own words and on the recollections of those closest to him, the book offers an emotional, complex portrait of young Elvis Presley with a depth and dimension that for the first time allow his extraordinary accomplishments to ring true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Peter Guralnick has given us a previously unseen world, a rich panoply of people and events that illuminate an achievement, a place, and a time as never revealed before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBillboard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e's 100 Greatest Music Books of All Time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e's Book of the Year 1994\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e's Top Five Non-Fiction Books of the Decade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e's 100 New Classics: Best Reads from 1983-2008\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eParade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e's 75 Best Books of the Last 75 Years \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEsquire\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e Book of the Decade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e New York Times \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Ralph J.

Over the next thirteen years Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacities--from bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film. But more than anything else he was Elvis's close friend and confidant: Elvis trusted Jerry with protecting his life when he received death threats, he asked Jerry to drive him and Priscilla to the hospital the day Lisa Marie was born and to accompany him during the famous \"lost weekend\" when he traveled to meet President Nixon at the White House. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMe and a Guy Named Elvis\u003c\/i\u003e looks at Presley from a friend's perspective, offering readers the man rather than the icon--including insights into the creative frustrations that lead to Elvis's abuse of prescription medicine and his tragic death.

They discovered their mutual affection for R\u0026amp;B and, as Jerry and Mike put it in this fascinating autobiography, began an argument that has been going on for over fifty years with no resolution in sight. Leiber and Stoller were still in their teens when they started working with some of the pioneers of rock and roll, writing such hits as \"Hound Dog,\" which eventually became a #1 record for Elvis Presley. Jerry and Mike became the King's favorite songwriters, giving him \"Jailhouse Rock\" and other #1 songs. Their string of hits with the Coasters, including \"Yakety Yak,\" \"Poison Ivy,\" and \"Charlie Brown,\" is a part of rock 'n' roll history. They founded their own music label and introduced novel instrumentation into their hits for the Drifters and Ben E. King, including \"On Broadway\" and \"Stand by Me.\" They worked with everyone from Phil Spector to Burt Bacharach and Peggy Lee. Their smash musical Smokey Joe's Café became the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history.

Would they have praised or derided how he took others' music and restyled it with his own brand of intensity and delivery? Would they have condemned his quavering vibrato and disparaged his natural falsetto range-or would they have given him a standing ovation? And, what would they have made of his flashy clothes and \"weird wiggles\"? In the end, all of these elements (and others-including a fascination with black music and an accidental progression into the \"rockabilly\" style that melded rhythm\/blues and country, blurring genre lines) came together to create Elvis' idiosyncratic style.

Denson told his story of a shy boy who believed he was \"too pore\" to have anything but ended up having it all to author Heart Lanier Shapre' so it could be shared with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 444\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 08, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49664968753307,"sku":"9781497592285","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/Why-Elvis-Left-The-Building-Elvis-Presley-Youth-and-Life-Paperback.webp?v=1790597395"},{"product_id":"elvis-meets-nixon-a-brief-look-at-the-oddly-true-account-of-elvis-presleys-visit-to-the-while-house-paperback","title":"Elvis Meets Nixon: A Brief Look at the Oddly True Account of Elvis Presley's Visit to the While House - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eDylan Stance\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1970, Elvis Presley went to the White House on a whim to request a meeting with the President; his intention: to become an honorary Federal Agent.

In this tour de force biography, he captures the drama of Presley's career set against the popular culture of the post-World War II South. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley was a contradiction, flamboyant in pegged black pants with pink stripes, yet soft-spoken, respectfully courting a decent girl from church. Then he wandered into Sun Records, and everything changed. \"I was scared stiff,\" Elvis recalled about his first time performing on stage. \"Everyone was hollering and I didn't know what they were hollering at.\" Girls did the hollering--at his snarl and swagger. Williamson calls it \"the revolution of the Elvis girls.\" His fans lived in an intense moment, this generation raised by their mothers while their fathers were away at war, whose lives were transformed by an exodus from the countryside to Southern cities, a postwar culture of consumption, and a striving for upward mobility. They came of age in the era of the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education ruling, which turned high schools into battlegrounds of race. Explosively, white girls went wild for a white man inspired by and singing black music while \"wiggling\" erotically. Elvis, Williamson argues, gave his female fans an opportunity to break free from straitlaced Southern society and express themselves sexually, if only for a few hours at a time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than focusing on Elvis's music and the music industry, \u003cem\u003eElvis Presley: A Southern Life\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the zenith of his career, his period of deepest creativity, which captured a legion of fans and kept them fervently loyal for decades. Williamson shows how Elvis himself changed--and didn't. In the latter part of his career, when he performed regular gigs in Las Vegas and toured second-tier cities, he moved beyond the South to a national audience who had bought his albums and watched his movies. Yet the makeup of his fan base did not substantially change, nor did Elvis himself ever move up the Southern class ladder despite his wealth. Even as he aged and his life was cut short, he maintained his iconic status, becoming arguably larger in death than in life as droves of fans continue to pay homage to him at Graceland. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAppreciative and unsparing, culturally attuned and socially revealing, Williamson's \u003cem\u003eElvis Presley\u003c\/em\u003e will deepen our understanding of the man and his times.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoel Williamson\u003c\/strong\u003e, Lineberger Professor Emeritus of the Humanities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is the author of a number of landmark works on Southern culture, including\u003cem\u003e William Faulkner and Southern History\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 1993) and\u003cem\u003e The Crucible of Race: Black-White Relations in the American South since Emancipation\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 1984), which won the Francis Parkman Prize, the Robert F.

He seeks not just breadth of knowledge but coherence of insight; not just accumulation of knowledge but depth of understanding. Richard Tarnas, author of The Passion of the Western Mind Grant is a very distinguished cat. James Howard Kunstler, author of The Geography of Nowhere The first three chapters, about each title character and their particular artistic genesis, are good cultural history and excellent pop music analysis (his explication of Dylan's rejection of modernity is one of the better summations available of this complicated figure). . . . The accounts provide fresh, rewarding perspectives on historical moments that have been theorized to death, if not outright mythologized, and Maxwell's historical blow-by-blow does great service as a patient, careful examination of each watershed. . . . Grasping at any threads that might bind high culture with low . . . this very polar tension generates the ultimately subtle magnetism of Maxwell's book. Thomas Conner, H-Net Reviews How Does It Feel? traces the significance of rock and roll through the early careers of Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan, drawing on some of the most profound philosophical ideas of the last few centuries. Through the artists' own words and intimate accounts, this study suggests that archaic modes of thought, including those associated with mysticism, alchemy, shamanism, and ecstatic spiritual practice, and even with often trivialized phenomena described by words like \"magic,\" \"destiny,\" and \"prophecy,\" are vitally important for understanding how these musicians were able to catalyze the inception of an epochal revolution in human consciousness. From the recording of Presley's first hit at Sun studio to the Beatles' primal Hamburg initiation to Dylan's \"transfiguration,\" this study shows how rock and roll has enacted the return of relational modes repressed since Descartes' equation of thought with human being in the seventeenth century. Although the privileging of rationality, materialism, and science has apparently been in service to the development of humanity's intellectual capacities, this \"ascent of man\" has come at the expense of intuitive, affective, and embodied ways of knowing. However, nothing can be repressed forever, and rock and roll appears to have been a compensatory reaction to the modern rationalization and disenchantment of culture. Through an engaging retelling of the familiar narratives from a novel philosophical perspective, How Does It Feel? illuminates how the renewed attention to bodily experience performed by these musicians has opened the door to even more deeply repressed premodern modes, mediating what appears to be the emergence of a new world view that integrates modern and premodern premises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrant Maxwell is the author of How Does It Feel?: Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Philosophy of Rock and Roll.

Dickerson looks at topics such as Parker's illegal entry into the United States, his work as a carny with Royal American Shows, and his management of country singer Eddy Arnold, his partnership with Hank Snow, and how he manipulated Elvis Presley and his family to seize control of the singer's career, destroying career in the process..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book, which covers Parker's life and career from birth to his death, examines Parker's greed, his indebtedness to behind-the-scenes players in Las Vegas, his gambling addiction, and his fear of deportation played a role in ruining Elvis's career.
