Peter Guralnick:  Last Train to Memphis & Careless Love
"Let's get a little loud. Peter Guralnick's two-volume life of Elvis Aron Presley is not simply the finest rock-and-roll biography ever written. It must be ranked among the most ambitious and crucial biographical undertakings yet devoted to a major American figure of the second half of the 20th century." -- Gerald Marzorati,New York Times Book Review"A master work.... A streamlined and riveting narrative." --Wall Street Journal"Nothing written about Elvis Presley comes close to the detail, authority and uncondescending objectivity that Peter Guralnick has brought to his two-volume biography.
