The author of Last Train to Memphis brings us the life of Sam Phillips, the visionary
genius who singlehandedly steered the revolutionary path of Sun Records. The music
that Phillips shaped in his tiny Memphis studio, with artists as diverse as Elvis
Presley, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ike Turner, and Johnny Cash, introduced
a sound that had never been heard before. He brought forth a singular mix of black
and white voices unabashedly proclaiming the primacy of the American vernacular tradition
while at the same time declaring, once and for all, a new, integrated musical world.
With extensive interviews and firsthand personal observations extending over the author's
25-year acquaintance with Phillips, along with wide-ranging interviews with nearly
all the legendary Sun Records artists, this book gives us an ardent, intimate, and
unrestrained portrait of an American original as compelling in his own right as Mark
Twain, Walt Whitman, and Thomas Edison.--Adapted from book jacket
