Set for release by Music Mentor Books is the 250 pages book "Elvis: A Musical Inventory 1939 - 1955" (ISBN 0-9519888-7-5) this April. The book is written by Richard Boussiron in cooperation with Samuel Barnes and Graham Metson.
The info from Music Mentor Books:
"The book looks like a discography, but is not a discography. It is an extraordinarily detailed listing of the King's earliest musical influences - songs he learned at school, hymns and spirituals he sang at church, numbers he performed on the radio, in clubs, at backstage jams, etc.
The product of over 20 years' original research including interviews with a host of people who knew him including his teacher, church ministers, work colleagues and fellow musicians. And, for the first time anywhere, COMPLETE details of all the historic Sun sessions - taken directly from the personal files of Marion Keisker. Quite simply a "must have" for Elvis specialists and diehard fans."
