Product ReviewsSam Phillips: the Man Who Invented Rock 'n' Roll by Peter Guralnick (2015, Hardcover)

Guralnick hits another home run

This is THE definitive story of Sam...what motivated him, what made him tick, and it exposes his good and weaker characteristics. Without Sam, there would have been no Elvis, Jerry Lee, etc. He 'found' them and they hit the needs of 50's teens for the biggest change in music probably in US history. I will keep it as a reference book, marked profusely with my yellow marker!Read full review...
