Book Reviews of Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley
Book Review: A must read
Summary: 5 Stars
Guralnick gives us Elvis Presley before anyone knew his name, showing readers what this boy was like before he was the King. A frank, wonderful biography that shows us why our country is the way it is, and only reinforces Elvis Presley as the most influential white man in music in the past 100 years or so. I am a 25 year old white male who grew up in the North, and never was exposed to Elvis. I read this book to learn more about the man everyone talks about, the one people are obsessed about, and discovered why his influence lasts. A powerful, un-put-down-able read.
