A Different Elvis Inspired Book

Elvis has been dead for 29 years but books about him continue to come. Ken Burke and Dan Griffin's Blue Moon Boys (Chicago Review Press) isn't about Elvis but his presence looms large in this bio of Scotty Moore, Bill Black and D.J. Fontana. Even though it focuses most on that trio, Elvis is always there in spirit. So, while Burke offers no new insights into him, he does give Moore and Fontana their due. While the look at Black who died in 1965 isn't as compelling. Burke's love of this group is evident but he's also critical when need be. If you're an Elvis fan or just a fan of early Rock 'N' Roll then Blue Moon Boys should satisfy your Rockabilly thirst.
