-Titulo Original : Sam Phillips The Man Who Invented Rock N Roll
-Fabricante :
Back Bay Books
-Descripcion Original:
From the author of the critically acclaimed Elvis Presley biography: 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 he shaped in his tiny Memphis studio with artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Ike Turner, Howlin Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash, introduced a sound that had never been heard before. He brought forth a singular mix of black and white voices passionately proclaiming the vitality of the American vernacular tradition while at the same time declaring, once and for all, a new, integrated musical day. With extensive interviews and firsthand personal observations extending over a 25-year period with Phillips, along with wide-ranging interviews with nearly all the legendary Sun Records artists, Guralnick gives us an ardent, unrestrained portrait of an American original as compelling in his own right as Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, or Thomas Edison. Review New York Times BestsellerOne of The Washington Posts Notable Nonfiction Books of 2015 Mr. Guralnick is a sensitive biographer who has landed upon a perfect topic in Phillips, the brilliant Memphis producer who, in the 1950s, recorded the earliest work of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Howlin Wolf. This is vital American history, smartly and warmly told. Dwight Garner, New York Times, Top Books of 2015Definitive...With Presleys story at its core, Sam Phillips: The Man Who Invented Rock n Roll is in some ways the third volume [to] Guralnicks double-volume Elvis bio. What makes it more illuminating and arguably truer is seeing Elvis in the broader context of Phillips career, [which was] in many ways a mission to transform [t]his nations history of bigotry....You may come away born again. Rolling StoneA book so thoroughly steeped in its subject that it is almost an autobiography in the third person.... This is a book written out of admiration and love, Guralnick states frankly in an authors note. As such, it honors Sam Phillips elegantly, by devoting itself to the one subject Phillips seemed to admire and love as much as he did music: Sam Phillips himself. David Hajdu, New York Times Book ReviewLovingly crafted.... With crisp prose and meticulous detail, Guralnick gives Phillips the same epic treatment he previously employed in acclaimed biographies of Sam Cooke and Elvis Presley.... An astonishing feat.... It is difficult to imagine a more complete or poetic account of his life than this remarkable volume.... I didnt set out to revolutionize the world, Phillips once told Guralnick in a moment of humility, but in this book [the author] convincingly argues that Phillips did just that. Charles Hughes, The Washington PostPeter Guralnick isnt just a music writer or a biographer--hes one of the essential chroniclers of American popular culture, and his work illuminates some of the crucial components of our national identity: race, religion, fame, and the big business of having fun, among others. In this epic biography of Sam Phillips, Guralnick bears witness to the birth of rock and roll and the cultural revolution it inspired. Its not only an unforgettable portrait of an eccentric visionary, its a testament to the power of ordinary people to change the world with nothing more than a beautiful idea and a handful of songs. Tom Perrotta, author of The LeftoversWhen Elvis Presley stepped into a Memphis recording studio with producer Sam Phillips in 1954, they defined rock n roll as we know it. Peter Guralnick already gave us Elviss story in two landmark books. He now returns with a brilliant, intensely human look at Phillips, the endlessly fascinating figure who also recorded Johnny Cash, B.B King, Howlin Wolf, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Its a bold, insightful work that tells us in novelistic detail about the obsessions and struggles of the man who presided over the uneasy birth of r
