ISBN: 161713032XJerry Scheff´s Autobiographie trägt den Titel "Way Down: Playing Bass With Elvis, Dylan, The Doors And More", wird 256 Seiten umfassen und erscheint am 01.03-2012 bei Backbeat Books.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"In this candid and perceptive memoir of his 45-year career, bassist Jerry Scheff takes us onto Elvis's private jet, on tour with Bob Dylan, and into the studio with the Doors. A stalwart presence behind some of the greatest names of popular music, Scheff has also played with Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, the Association, Neil Diamond, Johnny Mathis, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, and Nancy Sinatra, to name just a few.
Eschewing hype, Scheff provides a behind-the-scenes perspective, from having worked sleeves rolled up, side by side, with the great artists in their factories. The book opens with the TCB band's learning of the King's death while en route to a tour date, a pivotal moment for him, the rest of the band, and the world at large. He then proceeds on a nonlinear journey that mirrors the process of true life-reflection, from his roots in San Francisco to his touring all over the world.
This is a tale of a man who has truly grown a career from a genuine love of music and of his instrument, proving how following that gift can bring a person to places beyond his wildest dreams. It is an exciting inside view of the evolution and craft and work of making rock and roll - a must-have for true music craftsmen and music junkies in general."

Conversation With The King: Journals Of A Young ApprenticeIm Dezember 2011 erscheint das Buch "Conversation With The King" von Elvis´ Stiefbruder David Stanley.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
“Conversations With The King ~ Journals of a Young Apprentice is a book about the extraordinary lessons that my stepbrother Elvis Presley, the private mystic and healer, taught me during my seventeen years as his young apprentice. It is also about the equally important lessons I learned from witnessing his titanic struggle between his most authentic spiritual self, his private demons and his feeling imprisoned by the public icon he had become.
This is the one Elvis story that has never been written because I’m the only one who could tell it. Only now do I at last understand that story well enough to share it in ways that will be healing to many, perhaps including you.
Why does Elvis continue to hold sway with millions around the world for reasons they don’t understand, even 34 years after his death? Conversations with the King: Journals of a Young Apprentice is your doorway into the secrets behind that mystery.
This book gives you never-before-available access to the wisdom and gifts Elvis never openly discussed in public. The untold stories each chapter contains revolve around a life lesson that invites you into discovering your answers to the mysteries of your life.
You’ll be enthralled by the messages this book illuminates. And regardless of whether Elvis means something to you, this book’s lessons are for all who seek to become more authentic, wise and enduringly happy.
These lessons may well transform your life. They certainly transformed mine. And they continue to do so to this day."

ISBN: 1606350722Veröffentlichungstermin für das Buch "1950´s Radio In Color - The Lost Photographs Of DeeJay Tommy Edwards" war der März 2011. Es ist zwar kein reines Elvis-Buch beinhaltet aber von ihm trotzdem tolle Fotos aus dem Jahre 1955.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Between 1955 and 1960, popular Cleveland deejay Tommy Edwards photographed the parade of performers who passed through the WERE-AM radio studio for on-air interviews, shooting more than 1,700 Ektachrome slides. Following his death in 1981, most of the collection vanished and was presumed lost. The few images that remained were often reprinted and rarely credited to Edwards, labeled “photographer unknown.” Until now.
Discovered by musician Chris Kennedy in 2006, Tommy Edwards’s candid photographs capture the birth of rock ’n’ roll at its flashpoint: Elvis Presley while he was still dangerous; a raw and incomplete Chuck Berry before his star ascended; and some beady-eyed, high-voiced kid named Roy Orbison. It wasn’t just the architects of rock music whom Edwards had in his viewfinder. There were also pop and country music’s biggest stars, mysterious, unknown hopefuls, and vulnerable, deglamourized Hollywood celebrities. Edwards’s passion for photography immortalized hundreds of pioneers of rock ’n’ roll and pop culture in the radio studio, a setting that was often unseen. His photos offer a rare look behind a closed door.
In 2009, Kennedy located the only surviving copy of the “T.E. Newsletter” collection, Tommy Edwards’s self-published weekly two-page recap of Cleveland radio and record news for music business insiders, spanning from 1953 through 1960. The wealth of information and dates contained in the newsletters are the photo collection’s indispensable companion piece, and Edwards’s anecdotal quips are interspersed throughout the text of the book.
1950s Radio in Color gives Tommy Edwards his due recognition as the deejay responsible for perhaps the most important photographic and written documentation of twentieth-century music ever produced. Featuring over 200 color photographs, this book will transport readers back in time, allowing them to step into Edwards’s shoes for a moment and to feel the wonder and excitement he must have felt every day while witnessing a cultural revolution."
