ISBN: 1681888963Am 08.11.2022 veröffentlicht Peter Guralnick und Colin Escott bei "Weldon Owen" das 256 Seiten starke, englischsprachige Buch "The Birth Of Rock 'n' Roll: The Illustrated Story Of Sun Records And The 70 Recordings That Changed The World" mit einem Vorwort von Jerry Lee Lewis.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"A fascinating look at the history of Sun Records, the label that started Rock n' Roll, told through 70 of its iconic recordings.
In Memphis, Tennessee, in the 1950s, there was hard-edged blues playing on Beale Street, and hillbilly boogie on the outskirts of town. But at Sam Phillips' Sun Records studio on Union Avenue, there was something different going on - a whole lotta shakin', rockin', and rollin'.
This is where rock 'n' roll was born.
Sun Records: the company that launched Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. The label that brought the world, "Blue Suede Shoes," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Breathless," "I Walk the Line," "Mystery Train," "Good Rockin' Tonight."
The Birth of Rock 'n' Roll: 70 Years of Sun Records is the official history of this legendary label, and looks at its story in a unique way: through the lens of 70 of its most iconic recordings. From the early days with primal blues artists like Howlin' Wolf and B. B. King to long nights in the studio with Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, you will see how the label was shaped and how it redefined American music. Accompanying the recordings is the label's origin story and a look at the mission of the label today, as well as "Sun Spot" sidebars-a fascinating dive into subjects such as how the iconic logo was created, the legendary Million Dollar Quartet sessions, and how the song "Harper Valley, PTA" funded the purchase of the label.
Written by two of the most acclaimed music writers of our time, Peter Guralnick and Colin Escott, and featuring hundreds of rare images from the Sun archives as well as a foreword by music legend Jerry Lee Lewis, this is a one-of-a-kind book for anyone who wants to know where it all started."

Am 07.06.2022 erscheint in italienischer Sprache das von James L. Dickerson geschriebene, von Sara A. Benatti übersetzte und 300 Seiten starke Buch "Elvis E Il Colonnello" bei "Rizzoli".
Ankünigung des Verlages:
"Sul Colonnello Tom Parker sono fiorite mille leggende: "l'uomo che fece Elvis Presley" è uno dei personaggi più ambigui e misteriosi all'ombra della stella più luminosa dello show business moderno.
Questo libro ricostruisce i mille volti del Colonnello, raccontandolo dall'inizio: prima di intraprendere la carriera di manager, Parker giunse clandestinamente negli Stati Uniti a poco più di vent'anni, cambiò nome e mantenne per tutta la vita il segreto sulle sue origini olandesi. Impresario teatrale di spettacoli circensi prima, poi promoter di musicisti, uomo dalle mille risorse, astuto, ma anche smaliziato giocatore d'azzardo abituato a reinventarsi continuamente, a metà degli anni Cinquanta incontra un giovane Elvis Presley.
E da quel momento le loro vite cambiano. Padre putativo, ma anche burattinaio di Elvis, contro tutto e tutti lo accompagna a diventare il grande showman che ha fatto tremare l'America e rivoluzionato completamente il business dell'intrattenimento. In pochi mesi Parker riesce a strappare per Elvis un contratto con RCA Records, a introdurlo alla televisione, ai musical, a Hollywood.
Presley è stato e sarà sempre una icona anche grazie all'abilità e alla spregiudicatezza del Colonnello, ma dietro la scalata scintillante al successo si nascondono molte altre storie. "Elvis e il colonnello" è il racconto incredibile e poco conosciuto sul controverso ma produttivo rapporto tra l'artista che portò il rock nel mondo e il suo manager, una storia che ha scatenato l'immaginazione di Baz Luhrmann che alla complicata relazione umana e professionale tra Elvis e il Colonnello ha dedicato un film con protagonista Tom Hanks nei panni di Tom Parker. "

Sally Hoedel ("Destined To Die Young") veröffentlicht ihre zweites Buch mit dem Titel "Destined To Fly From Iowa To Elvis - The Story Of Pilot Ron Strauss" und kündigte das auf facebook wie folgt an:
"I have some exciting news to share today. My second book, Destined to Fly: The Story of Pilot Ron Strauss – From Iowa to Elvis, has been submitted to the printer! As a writer, it’s a day of celebration that the work is complete and can soon be shared. As a friend, it’s a privilege to tell Ron’s life story, as I know it will inspire all of you as much as it has me.
Stories of a simple childhood in rural Iowa, twelve years of service in the United States Air Force during Vietnam, a hijacking as an airline pilot and flying Elvis Presley from tour to tour are all captured in this book. Ron’s story is one of bravery, patriotism, hard work, perseverance, love, family and flying.
The journey of this book began one year ago. I spent a week interviewing Ron at his home in Florida. It was clear from day one that there was a story there worth telling and it went far beyond his two years co-piloting the Lisa Marie. The months that followed included research and interviews, all with the full support of his family and friends. The most daunting day was sharing the first draft with Ron himself. Thankfully, he liked it.
For Elvis fans, this book offers new information not only about the airplane itself, but also provides a glimpse of Elvis Presley as a boss. A professional relationship was maintained with the crew of the Lisa Marie that was vastly different from others around him. Destined to Fly will also become a resource for fans as it features incredible documentation, including never-before-seen photographs and a complete flight log detailing Elvis’ tour and travel schedule aboard the Lisa Marie.
More details will be shared over the weeks ahead. TCB!!
(A worldwide paper shortage has extended printing time frames. Watch for postings and information on availability and preorder opportunities coming soon.)".
