Product Information

Written with grace, humor, and affection, Last Train to Memphis has been hailed as the definitive biography of Elvis Presley. It is the first to set aside the myths and focus on Elvis' humanity in a way that has yet to be duplicated. A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award "Elvis steps from the pages. You can feel him breathe. This book cancels out all others." --Bob Dylan From the moment that he first shook up the world in the mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and enduring myths of American culture. Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. 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. 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. Last Train to Memphis 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. 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.

"A Triumph of Biographical Art...Profound and Moving."-- Stephen Wright , New York Times Book Review, "Altogether splendid...It is the particular and spectacular achievement of Last Train to Memphis that it holds both the making of the history and the beginning of the myth in firm, simple, and compassionate focus."-- Jay Cocks , Time

    Excellent book that is very detailed and not based on rumor or trash-talk.

    Really like this book -- it's very intense and very detailed. I don't know much about Elvis, but wanted to read a book that wasn't "trashy" and was more factual -- this book is definitely those things. After I bought it, I looked up the reviews and saw the kudos it had received and for author Peter Guralnick's approach to the book. As I read through the book, I am compelled to go online and look up some of the songs and performances -- and, wow, what a singer and entertainer! I had no idea Elvis was so talented, so charismatic, and had a great sense of humor -- all these things come across in his performances. I can't wait to read more and to then read Peter Guralnick's other books on Elvis.

    Excellent

    This is the first book of two by this author, very well researched. This author brings to light Elvis early years, when he first started in the music business, references to being on the road early in his career, etc. The author gives credit where it is due, I enjoyed reading this because the author doesn't just write, he gives details, etc. and refers to people that were interviewed to give you a better idea of what is going on. Of course, gospel music, and Elvis' mother are always a big part of his life and the author writes with reference to how Elvis felt, as well as so many others things. This is a great read and the second book by this author it just as good.
