Elvis Presley: A Listener's Guide

The one-stop listener's guide to the music of Elvis Presley for new and hard-core fans alike. Since Elvis Presley's first recording session sixty years ago, hundreds of books have been written about him. However, very few of these have concentrated on the most important thing: the music. Elvis Presley: A Listener's Guide is ONLY about the music. Session by session, song by song, the book takes a fresh look at every single recording made by Elvis that was released during his lifetime (and many that were released posthumously). At the same time as providing a new critique on this vast body of work, the book also shows how the recordings were received by critics at the time of release, referencing over 170 original reviews and articles.
