I couldn't begin t o list all the periodicals, past and present, that I have consulted. Just for the
briefest of references, I have found Now Dig This, Goldmine, DISCoveries, New Kommotion, Kicks,
COllntry MlISic, and Picking Up the Tempo particularly useful (and frequently invaluable) over the
years. In addition, I have consulted the following Elvis publications extensively: Elvis: The Man
and His MlISic; Elvis: The Record; Elvis World; BecallSe of Elvis; Elvis International FOTllm; and Graceland
Express. MlISician's special 1992 report, "Elvis Presley: An Oral Biography," with interviews
conducted by Peter Cronin, Scott Isler, and Mark Rowland, offered an insightful portrait. Finally,
Orbis' History of Rock, vols. 3 and 5, published in 1981 and 1982, has good pictures and interesting
background on the early career, and life and times, of Elvis Presley.
For detailed reference to specific articles and periodical sources, however, please see the
Source Notes (page 491).
A Brief Discographical Note
M U C H OF T H E WORK T H A T would once have gone into pointing people toward the best of Elvis
Presley on record has finally been done (or is in the process of completion) by RCA/BMG.
Thanks to the efforts of Ernst Jorgensen and Roger Semon, the vast majority of Elvis' essential
performances are now available on three 5-CD sets. Elvis: The King of Rock 'N' Roll: The Complete
50 'S Masters (RCA 66050), Elvis from Nashville to Memphis: The Essential 60'S Masters (RCA 66160),
and Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential 70'S Masters (RCA 66670) contain nearly everything in
the way of studio masters (the '60S and '70S boxes leave out all the movie soundtrack material),
together with some wonderful, frequently enlightening surprises along the way.
The Complete 50'S Masters alone could, really, serve as the soundtrack to this book, including
everything from the first acetate to the last in-uniform '58 session, with such bonuses as Elvis'
embarkation press conference, his 1956 Las Vegas show, and a number of impromptu 1955 performances,
both live and in the studio.
In addition, Amazing Grace (RCA 66421) is the definitive 2-CD compilation of Elvis' gospel
recordings, and no respectable record collection should be without either it or Sunrise (RCA
67675), a 2-CD set of the Sun sides, various alternate takes and Hayride performances, and not
just the first but the second pre-professional acetate that Elvis recorded at his own expense at 706
Union Avenue. The only other truly essential purchases that I can think of are The Million Dollar
Quartet (RCA 2023), which offers a fascinating, unbuttoned view of the creative process at work,
with powerfully ragged harmonies from Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins (the one-manshort
but scarcely overvalued quartet) and the incomparable audio spectacle of Elvis imitating
Jackie Wilson imitating him; Elvis/NBC-TV Special (RCA 61021) and Tiger Man (RCA 676n), which
represent, respectively, the soundtrack for the ' 68 comeback special and the second live sit-down
show complete; and Suspicious Minds (RCA 67677), a 2-disc set which includes all the masters cut
at the American studio in 1969, along with a generous assortment of outtakes from what may
have been the Single most productive session undertaken by Elvis after Sun. With that said, however,
I should mention that Elvis' initial post-army session, whose eighteen cuts were dispersed
among three singles (including "It's Now or Never" and ':Are You Lonesome TOnight?") and the
only album that could arguably be compared with From Elvis in Memphis (the first LP to present
the American material), has now been released as a complete eighteen-track CD under the same
name as the original twelve-track album, Elvis Is Back (RCA 67737). Presented in its entirety for the
first time, that album is, I think, a true revelation.
There are lots of other avenues to explore - the movie songs, live performances, alternate
takes (The Essential Elvis series, of which Volume 2, Elvis Presley Stereo 57 [RCA 9589] is the most
consistently engaging), theme- and chronology-linked compilations - but for these and numerous
other permutations, I'll leave you to your own devices. The only other suggestion that I have
(though this is one that could sustain almost endless exploration) is the music from which Elvis
derived his inspiration: music from sources as varied as Roy Hamilton, Hank Snow, Arthur
Crudup, Martha Carson, Eddy Arnold, Ray Charles, Bing Crosby, Little Junior Parker, the Ink
Spots, the Statesmen, the Blackwood Brothers, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. There are two albums
out featuring original versions of some of Elvis' better-known songs (The King's Record Collection,
volumes I and 2 [Hip-O 40082 and 40083]), and they are certainly a good start, but if Elvis' music
moves you, it's worth more than a leisurely stroll along the frequently diverging paths of great
American vernacular music. There's a wealth of inspiration to be found for music still to be made.

Once again Bill Millar generously provided tapes, clippings, inSights, and information, as
did Ger Rijff, Karen Loper, Poul Madsen, Stephen Stathis, Rich Kienzle, and Diana Magrann.
Robert Gordon energetically uncovered all kinds of arcane Memphis information and lore (and
accompanied me to Riverside Park, the site of Rocky's Lakeside refreshment stand); I'm looking
forward to reading Robert's take on some of this same material in his forthcoming book, It
Came from Memphis. Other gracious Memphis hosts and guides were Bill Burk, Shelley Ritter,
David and Angela Less, Jackson Baker, Ronny Trout, and the South Memphis gang to whom
Ronnie Smith introduced me. In Nashville, too, I couldn't begin to name all my unflagging
guides and personal sponsors, but Mary Jarvis and David Briggs in particular went out of their
way to vouch for me and set me off in the right direction on my travels. Elaine Dundy, whom I
first met when I began work on the book, soon became a fast friend and inttoduced me to all of
her friends in Tupelo (whom she had met in the course of writing her own book, Elvis and
Gladys). Those she didn't introduce me to personally, local historian and genealogist Roy
Turner, who helped Elaine with her research and is Tupelo's resident expert on Marilyn
Monroe, did. In Shreveport, Alton and Margaret Warwick and Tillman Franks fulfilled much
