When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillipsâs Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Phillips invited a local guitarist named Scotty Moore to stand in. Scotty listened carefully to the young singer and immediately realized that Elvis had something special. Along with bass player Bill Black, the trio recorded an old blues number called âThatâs All Right, Mama.â It turned out to be Elvisâs first single and the defining record of his early style, with a trilling guitar hook that swirled country and blues together and minted a sound with unforgettable appeal. Its success launched a whirlwind of touring, radio appearances, and Elvisâs first break into movies. Scotty was there every step of the way as both guitarist and manager, until Elvisâs new manager, Colonel Tom Parker, pushed him out. Scotty and Elvis would not perform together again until the classic 1968 âcomebackâ television special. Scotty never saw Elvis after that.
With both Bill Black and Elvis gone, Scotty Moore is the only one left to tell the story of how Elvis and Scotty transformed popular music and how Scotty created the sound that became a prototype for so many rock guitarists to follow. Thoroughly updated, this edition delivers guitarist Scotty Mooreâs story as never before
