Produktinformationen "Sam Phillips. Der Mann, der den Rock'n'Roll erfand"

"Ich war schon immer der Meinung, dass Sun Records und Sam Phillips die entscheidensten, erhebensten und stärksten Platten aller Zeiten produziert hatten. Bei Sun Records sangen die Künstler um ihr Leben und hörten sich an, als kämen sie aus der rätselhaftesten Ecke des Planeten. Wenn man sie hinter sich ließ und den Blick zurück warf, konnte man zur Salzsäule erstarren." Bab Dylan, ChroniclesDie Biografie über das visionäre Genie, das den revolutionären Weg von Sun Records im Alleingang lenkte. Vom Autor der von der Kritik gefeierten Elvis-Presley-Biografie "Last Train to Memphis" und "Careless Love" endlich in deutscher Sprache: Sam Phillips: der Mann, der den Rock¿n¿Roll erfand. Die Musik, die er in seinem winzigen Memphis-Studio mit so unterschiedlichen Künstlern wie Elvis Presley, Ike Turner, Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis und Johnny Cash prägte, brachte einen Sound hervor, der noch nie zuvor gehört worden war.
Er schuf eine einzigartige Mischung aus schwarzen und weißen Stimmen, die voller Leidenschaft die Vitalität der amerikanischen Volkstradition verkündete und gleichzeitig ein für alle Mal einen neuen, integrativen Musikstil proklamierte. Mit umfangreichen Interviews und persönlichen Beobachtungen aus erster Hand, die sich über einen Zeitraum von 25 Jahren erstreckten, sowie umfangreichen Interviews mit nahezu allen legendären Sun Records-Künstlern, liefert uns Guralnick ein leidenschaftliches, ungeschöntes Porträt eines amerikanischen Originals. Der Autor Peter Guralnick begleitete Sam Phillips und seine Weggefährten über viele Jahre hinweg, um einen umfassenden Einblick in Sun Records und dessen gesamtes Umfeld zu erlangen. Er beschreibt Sam Phillips' schweren Start, aber natürlich auch seinen unglaublichen Aufstieg. Besonders spannend ist dabei, auch bisher eher unbekannte Seiten von Sam Phillips kennen zu lernen. Seine große Liebe zum Radio, seine Motivation, im Tonstudio immer ausgefeiltere Aufnahmetechniken zu entwickeln oder sein Drang zu waghalsigen Expansionsmanövern weit über die Grenzen seiner Wahlheimatstadt Memphis hinaus. Gleichzeitig zeigt Peter Guralnick aber auch die Schattenseiten von Sam Phillips auf, die es im Wirken außergewöhnlicher Persönlichkeiten vielleicht immer gibt. Wir lernen in diesem Buch einen Geschäftsmann mit einem unvorstellbaren Antrieb und einem unbändigen Durchhaltevermögen kennen, aber natürlich auch einen ganz persönlichen Sam Phillips.Doch dieses Buch ist mehr als nur eine Biografie über Sam Phillips. Es ist eine Biografie über die Entstehung der amerikanischen Popkultur. Es ist die Biografie einer Musikszene, die unsere heutige Kultur so entscheidend geprägt hat wie keine zuvor und keine danach. Es ist die Biografie über ein Amerika, in dem der Blues und der Rock'n'Roll in kleinen Schritten, aber ganz entscheidend für die Gleichberechtigung von Menschen aller Hautfarben gekämpft hat.

The Colonel and the King
In early 1955, Colonel Tom Parker (the manager of the number-one country music star of the day) heard that an unknown teenager from Memphis had just drawn a crowd of more than 800 people to a Texas schoolhouse and headed south to investigate. Within a matter of days, Parker was sending out telegrams and letters to promoters and booking agents: 'We have a new boy that is absolutely going to be one of the biggest things in the business in a very short time. His name is ELVIS PRESLEY.' <BR><BR>The close personal bond between Elvis and the Colonel is something that has never been fully portrayed before. It was a relationship founded on mutual admiration and support. From the outset, the Colonel defended Elvis fiercely and indefatigably against RCA executives, Elvis' own booking agents and movie moguls. But in their final years together, the story grew darker, as the Colonel found himself unable to protect Elvis from himself - or to control growing problems of his own. <BR><BR>Featuring troves of previously unpublished correspondence from the Colonel's own archives, revelatory for both their insights and their emotional depth, The Colonel and the King provides a groundbreaking dual portrait of the relationship between the iconic artist and his legendary manager and a unique perspective on not one but two American originals. A tale of the birth of the modern-day superstar (an invention almost entirely of Parker's making) by the most acclaimed music writer of his generation, it presents these two misunderstood icons as they've never been seen before: with all of their brilliance, humour and flaws on full display.

Careless Love
Careless Love is the full, true, and mesmerizing story of Elvis Presley's last two decades, in the long-awaited second volume of Peter Guralnick's masterful two-part biography."A masterwork." -Wall Street JournalLast Train to Memphis, the first part of Guralnick's two-volume life of Elvis Presley, was acclaimed by the New York Times as "a triumph of biographical art." This concluding volume recounts the second half of Elvis' life in rich and previously unimagined detail, and confirms Guralnick's status as one of the great biographers of our time. Beginning with Presley's army service in Germany in 1958 and ending with his death in Memphis in 1977, Careless Love chronicles the unravelling of the dream that once shone so brightly, homing in on the complex playing-out of Elvis' relationship with his Machiavellian manager, Colonel Tom Parker. It's a breathtaking revelatory drama that for the first time places the events of a too-often mistold tale in a fresh, believable, and understandable context. Elvis' changes during these years form a tragic mystery that Careless Love unlocks for the first time. This is the quintessential American story, encompassing elements of race, class, wealth, sex, music, religion, and personal transformation. Written with grace, sensitivity, and passion, Careless Love is a unique contribution to our understanding of American popular culture and the nature of success, giving us true insight at last into one of the most misunderstood public figures of our times.

Last Train to Memphis
Written with grace, humor, and affection, Last Train to Memphis has been hailed as the definitive biography of Elvis Presley-and the first to set aside the myths and focus on Elvis' humanity in a way that has yet to be duplicated. "Elvis steps from the pages. You can feel him breathe. This book cancels out all others." -Bob Dylan<BR><BR> From the moment that he first shook up the world in the mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and enduring myths of American culture. Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world. This volume tracks the first twenty-four years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records ("That's All Right," "Mystery Train"), and the early RCA hits ("Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel"). These were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded wildly. There was scarcely a cloud in sight through this period until, in 1958, he was drafted into the army and his mother died shortly thereafter. The book closes on that somber and poignant note. Last Train to Memphis takes us deep inside Elvis' life, exploring his lifelong passion for music of every sort (from blues and gospel to Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza), his compelling affection for his family, and his intimate relationships with girlfriends, mentors, band members, professional associates, and friends. It shows us the loneliness, the trustfulness, the voracious appetite for experience, and above all the unshakable, almost mystical faith that Elvis had in himself and his music. Drawing frequently on Elvis' own words and on the recollections of those closest to him, the book offers an emotional, complex portrait of young Elvis Presley with a depth and dimension that for the first time allow his extraordinary accomplishments to ring true. Peter Guralnick has given us a previously unseen world, a rich panoply of people and events that illuminate an achievement, a place, and a time as never revealed before.

Last Train to Memphis
The first volume of Peter Guralnick's critically acclaimed Elvis Presley biographies<BR><BR>'Elvis steps from the pages. You can feel him breathe' BOB DYLAN<BR><BR>'Wonderful' RODDY DOYLE<BR><BR>Last Train to Memphis is arguably the first serious biography that refuses to dwell on the myth of Elvis.
