Critical Praise
"Unrivaled account of Elvis as he walks the path between heaven and nature in an America that was wide open, when anything was possible, not the white washed golden calf but the incendiary musical firebrand loner who conquered the western world, he steps from the pages, you can feel him breathe, this book cancels out all the others."
-Bob Dylan
"Not simply the finest rock-and-roll biography ever written. It must be ranked among the most ambitious and crucial undertakings yet devoted to a major American figure of the second half of the twentieth century."
-New York Times Book Review
"This sequel to his exhilarating first volume is the most meticulously researched and sympathetic, honest portrait of Elvis we are likely to see."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Guralnick gives us a fallible human being destroyed by forces within as well as without. It's an epic American tragedy, captured here in all its complexity."
