When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillips's Memphis-based Sun studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Sam asked a local guitarist named Scotty Moore to get in touch with Elvis. Maybe he could uncover some formula to make Elvis a star. Scotty listened carefully to the young singer and immediately realized that teenager had something special. Along with bass player Bill Black, the trio went into Sun studios .and 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. Its success launched a whirlwind of touring, radio appearances, and Elvis?s first break into movies. Scotty was there every step of the way?until Elvis's new manager, Col. Tom Parker, pushed him out of the picture. Scotty and Elvis would not perform together again until the classic 1968 comeback TV special. And despite promises for further work, Scotty never saw Elvis after that. With both Bill Black and Elvis dead, Scotty is the only one left to tell the story of how Elvis transformed popular music?and how Scotty created the guitar sound that has become the prototype for all rock guitar that has followed. XX Of all the musicians who worked with Elvis, none was more important than his right-hand man, Scotty Moore (The Washington Post). An important and engaging book (The Nashville Banner). Moore is modest, point-blank, and disdainful of myth (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Scotty was the rock in the foundation that Elvis depended on . sort of like Peter was the rock of the Church (Jerry Schilling, Creative Affairs Director, Elvis Presley Estate).

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Memoir of guitar legend Scotty Moore, Elvis Presley's first guitarist and manager.When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillip's Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Sam asked guitarist Scotty and bass player Bill Black to work with Elvis-and the music they created as the Blue Moon Boys launched what became known as rock 'n' roll.Scotty and Bill toured with the young singer, and played on all of his Sun sessions, and Scotty played on his recordings for RCA until 1968; Scotty also served as Elvis's manager for the first year of his music career. With Bill Black and Elvis both gone, Scotty is the only remaining member of the original trio who can tell the true story of how Elvis transformed popular music-and how Scotty created the guitar sound that became the prototype for all rock guitarists that followed, prompting Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards to proclaim, "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis-I wanted to be Scotty."For all fans of Elvis Presley and his music-and for all lovers of rock 'n' roll-this is a compelling story that makes it clear that there would have been no Elvis Presley the superstar without the cool-handed musical skills of Scotty Moore. The book was a finalist for the prestigious Gleason Award, which at the time the book was published, was awarded by Rolling Stone, New York University and BMI.That's Alright, Elvis was Moore's first book with author and journalist James L. Dickerson. Moore passed away in 2016 at his home in Nashville, Tennessee. Dickerson's music writing has received numerous awards and honors over the years, but none as welcome as the one from the Library of Congress, which asked him in 2002 to write an essay on the Sun Records Sessions with Elvis (1954-1955) for permanent inclusion in the National Registry.
