About this product

Product Information

The author of the critically acclaimed Elvis Presley biography Last Train to Memphis brings us the life of Sam Phillips, the visionary genius who singlehandedly steered the revolutionary path of Sun Records. The music that he shaped in his tiny Memphis studio with artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Ike Turner, Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash, introduced a sound that had never been heard before. He brought forth a singular mix of black and white voices passionately proclaiming the vitality of the American vernacular tradition while at the same time declaring, once and for all, a new, integrated musical day. With extensive interviews and firsthand personal observations extending over a 25-year period with Phillips, along with wide-ranging interviews with nearly all the legendary Sun Records artists, Guralnick gives us an ardent, unrestrained portrait of an American original as compelling in his own right as Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, or Thomas Edison.

Praise for Sam Phillips "Peter Guralnick isn't just a music writer or a biographer--he's one of the essential chroniclers of American popular culture, and his work illuminates some of the crucial components of our national identity: race, religion, fame, and the big business of having fun, among others. In this epic biography of Sam Phillips, Guralnick bears witness to the birth of rock and roll and the cultural revolution it inspired. It's not only an unforgettable portrait of an eccentric visionary, it's a testament to the power of ordinary people to change the world with nothing more than a beautiful idea and a handful of songs."-- Tom Perrotta, author of The Leftovers

    very good

    mETICULOUSLY RESEARCHED BIO & WITH FULL CO-OPERATION sam phillips, SO THERE ARE MANY RARE & UNSEEN FAMILY PHOTOS! Covers Sam's early efforts to record black blues (B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf). etc. THEN plenty of attention paid to Elvis & thebrockabillies who followed. However, Peter pays a little bit too much attention to Sa-the-HOUND (evidently, Sam was quite the ladies-man & even had a mistress with the full knowledge of his wife!)..All-inlall, a very good & fascinating read of a very important figure in American music.
