The Sonic Swagger of Elvis Presley : A Critical History of the Early Recordings
Elvis Presley Early Recordings - Book - by Gary Parker
(2022)
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 created an inventive mixture of hair-raising rock &
roll and balladry, with one foot in delta muck and the other in a
country hoedown. This history focuses squarely on the music of Presley's
groundbreaking early years and includes a comprehensive analysis of
every Presley recording session from the 1950s.
Chapters
deftly illustrate how Presley, and his musical compatriots Scotty Moore
and Bill Black, fused 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.
