The Book and Doc That Changed My Mind About Elvis

In this episode of Rock Talk Studio, I break down the three things that finally made Elvis "click" for me:

• The Colonel and the King: Why understanding the mysterious and relentless Colonel Tom Parker provided the context I was missing.
• EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert: How seeing  these rehearsals and concert footage revealed the raw work ethic behind the spectacle.
• Elvis Presley: Conversations With Scotty Moore: A look at the new book by Jim Berkenstadt that gives a first-hand account of Elvis’s early career through the eyes of his legendary guitarist.

Whether you're a die-hard Elvis fan or a skeptic like I was, this is a story about how the right history can make you reconsider an artist you thought you had all figured out.

Special shout out to listener Vaughan M. for the encouragement to dive deeper!
