Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Memoir of guitar legend Scotty Moore, Elvis Presley's first guitarist and manager.When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillip's Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Sam asked guitarist Scotty and bass player Bill Black to work with Elvis-and the music they created as the Blue Moon Boys launched what became known as rock 'n' roll.Scotty and Bill toured with the young singer, and played on all of his Sun sessions, and Scotty played on his recordings for RCA until 1968; Scotty also served as Elvis's manager for the first year of his music career. With Bill Black and Elvis both gone, Scotty is the only remaining member of the original trio who can tell the true story of how Elvis transformed popular music-and how Scotty created the guitar sound that became the prototype for all rock guitarists that followed, prompting Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards to proclaim, "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis-I wanted to be Scotty."For all fans of Elvis Presley and his music-and for all lovers of rock 'n' roll-this is a compelling story that makes it clear that there would have been no Elvis Presley the superstar without the cool-handed musical skills of Scotty Moore. The book was a finalist for the prestigious Gleason Award, which at the time the book was published, was awarded by Rolling Stone, New York University and BMI.That's Alright, Elvis was Moore's first book with author and journalist James L. Dickerson. Moore passed away in 2016 at his home in Nashville, Tennessee. Dickerson's music writing has received numerous awards and honors over the years, but none as welcome as the one from the Library of Congress, which asked him in 2002 to write an essay on the Sun Records Sessions with Elvis (1954-1955) for permanent inclusion in the National Registry.
