Ankündigung des Verlags:
"In the third and final edition of The Elvis Years, we track Elvis’s later career from his 1968 “Comeback Special” through to his final days at Graceland and explore the many musical avenues taken by the King in his last decade.

Inside, we tell the story of Elvis’s infamous TV Special and take an exclusive look behind the scenes with the help of show director Steve Binder, plus we examine hit album From Elvis In Memphis, and the triumphant Vegas residencies that followed in its wake.

We get behind the lens for Presley’s intimate documentary film That’s The Way It Is and his ground-breaking global satellite telecast Aloha from Hawaii, and explore some of the standout albums of his later life including Elvis Country, He Touched Me and Today.

Elsewhere, we step inside Elvis’s infamous STAX studio sessions, before heading to Graceland’s Jungle Room to retrace the King’s last recordings – furthermore, ex-Sun Studio engineer Matt Ross-Spang discusses working on those final tracks for the Down In The Jungle Room compilation.

We chat with The Memphis Boys’ lead guitarist Reggie Young about his experiences recording with the King, songwriter Mark James tells us about the making of Suspicious Minds and, in one of his final interviews, the late great Tony Joe White reveals all about his track Polk Salad Annie, a regular favourite in Elvis’s set lists. Also in Volume 3, we survey Presley’s sartorial choices in later life, including his many infamous jumpsuits, we explore his love of martial arts and we deliver our final alternative Top 20 tracks.

ISBN: 1941644538Für den 15.10.2018 war das von James L. Dickerson (Autor von "Colonel Tom Parker - The Curious Life Of Elvis Presley's Eccentric Manager") geschriebene und 290 Seiten starke Buch "Memphis Going Down: A Century Of Blues, Soul And Rock 'n' Roll" bei der "Sartoris Literary Group" mit folgenden Worte angekündigt:

"For over one hundred years, Memphis, Tennessee, has been the center of musical innovation for American popular music. From W. C. Handy to Alberta Hunter and Lil Hardin Armstrong, in the early years, to B. B. King in the late 1940s, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950s, to Otis Redding, Booker T. and the MGs, and Al Green in the 1960s and early 1970s, Memphis music sizzled with a level of creativity unrivaled in the history of American music.

For five decades of the city's marvelous music history, author James L. Dickerson was at ground zero, first as a high school rock musician and then as a student rhythm and blues musician at the University of Mississippi, where his band made history by becoming the first all-white musical group to perform at a black Memphis nightclub, and finally as a Memphis journalist, magazine publisher, and radio syndication owner, who had unparalleled access to many of the music greats of the latter half of the century.

Memphis Going Down is told in the words of the record producers, performers, and songwriters themselves as they reflect on their lives and music and its impact on popular culture. You'll hear legendary record producers such as Chips Moman, Willie Mitchell, Sam Phillips, and Jim Stewart talk about the ups and downs of the industry. And you'll hear the artists themselves: Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Al Green, Bobby Womack, B. B. King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rufus Thomas, members of the Box Tops, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds go one-on-one with the author in an effort to understand the mysteries of Memphis music."
