Title: captures the era .. and the man
Product review: I really enjoy Guralinick's books on musicians and music history. This one was also a very intriguing and informative read. There is no doubt that some of the diehard Elvis fans will be angered or disappointed with some of the material in here about Elvis, but hey, he was just a man and had faults like the rest of us. But you can't knock the research that Guralnick did, and I think he gives the story of Elvis' later years a fair balance. I learned a lot from this book, and it actually inspired me to go back and listen to some Elvis albums, and buy a copy of the "From Memphis" CD reissue. I love the way that Guralnick described those recording sessions and the musicians involved in the process and what they were thinking. You don't have to be an Elvis fan to enjoy this book, and in fact an initial disinterest in the man and his music might be a better requirement, or at least lead you to a great appreciation and enjoyment of this book.
