Title: Elvis Dead and Johnny Rivers doesn't look so good neither
Product review: I really loved Last Train to Memphis and had been looking forward to this sequel for some time, but now I have mixed feelings. A major problem is that Elvis' life from 1958 to 1977 just isnt as interesting or dramatic as his initial rise to success. Mostly what we have here is a catalog of desultory and listless moviemaking, punctuated by an occasional recording session or concert that ignites the King's interest. To Guralnick's everlasting credit, he enjoys Elvis' music and its place in the American Pantheon, even when the music isn't all that good. This is the closest we have yet to an objective biography of Elvis Presley, but this half of the life did not merit an entire volume. And what is all this nonsense here on Amazon about Johnny Rivers? So what if he beat Elvis to the punch releasing Chuck Berry's Memphis? Does anyone whose last name is not Rivers really care anymore?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
