Scotty Moore will be on hand to sign copies of his book Scotty And Elvis: Aboard the Mystery Train. This will be Scotty’s first visit to Mississippi since the 1950s.
Scotty And Elvis details how Moore and Elvis Presley transformed popular music and created the sound that became a prototype for so many rock guitarists to follow. This book is a rewritten, retitled, and thoroughly updated edition of guitarist Scotty Moore’s story, which was originally published as That’s Alright, Elvis: The Untold Story of Elvis’s First Guitarist and Manager, Scotty Moore.
With both Bill Black and Elvis dead, Scotty Moore is the sole survivor of the Sun Records sessions of July 1954 during which Elvis Presley, Bill Black and Moore, with Sam Phillips at the engineering sound board, blended country and blues into a new art form that would shake up American culture for decades to come.
