Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most celebrated story collection from “one of the true American masters” (The New York Review of Books)—a haunting meditation on love, loss, and companionship, and finding one’s way through the dark that includes the iconic and much-referenced title story featured in the Academy Award-winning film Birdman. "Raymond Carver's America is ... clouded by pain and the loss of dreams, but it is not as fragile as it looks. It is a place of survivors and a place of stories.... [Carver] has done what many of the most gifted writers fail to do: He has invented a country of his own, like no other except that very world, as Wordsworth said, which is the world to all of us." —The New York Times Book Review

Book Synopsis The Authorized Roy Orbison by : Alex Orbison
Download or read book The Authorized Roy Orbison written by Alex Orbison and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, legendary performer Roy Orbison's story as one of the most beloved rock legends will be revealed through family accounts and records. Roy Orbison is a rock and roll icon almost without peer. He came of age as an artist on the venerable Sun Records label; toured with The Beatles; had massive hits in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s; invented the black-clad, sunglasses-wearing image of the rock star; and reinvented the art of songwriting many times over. He is a member of the Rock & Roll and Songwriters Halls of Fame, a recipient of the Musicians Hall of Fame's inaugural Iconic Riff Award, and the winner of multiple GRAMMY® awards. He is known the world over for hits like "Blue Bayou," "You Got It," and "Oh, Pretty Woman" and was a member of the band that inspired the term "supergroup"-the Traveling Wilburys, with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty. Despite these and countless other accolades, the story of Roy Orbison's life is virtually unknown to his millions of fans around the world. Now, for the first time ever, the Orbison Estate, headed by Roy's sons, Wesley, Roy Jr., and Alex Orbison, has set out to set the record straight. The Authorized Roy Orbison tells the epic tale of a West Texas boy, drawn to the guitar at age six, whose monumental global career successes were matched at nearly every turn by extraordinary personal tragedies, including the loss of his first wife in a motorcycle accident and his two oldest sons in a fire. It's a story of the intense highs and severe lows that make up the mountain range of Roy Orbison's career; one that touched four decades and ended abruptly at perhaps its highest peak, when he passed away at the age of fifty-two on December 6, 1988. Filled with hundreds of photographs, many never before seen, gathered from across the globe and uncovered from deep within the Orbison Vault, The Authorized Roy Orbison shows Roy Orbison as a young child and follows him all the way through to the peak of his stardom and up to his tragic end. Wesley, Roy Jr., and Alex Orbison-Roy's Boys-have left no stone unturned in order to illustrate the people, places, things, and events that forged their father, the man behind those famous sunglasses.

Book Synopsis The Birth of Rock 'n' Roll by : Peter Guralnick
Download or read book The Birth of Rock 'n' Roll written by Peter Guralnick and published by Weldon Owen International. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Memphis, Tennessee, in the 1950s, there was hard-edged blues playing on Beale Street, and hillbilly boogie on the outskirts of town. But at Sam Phillips’ Sun Records studio on Union Avenue, there was something different going on – a whole lotta shakin’, rockin’, and rollin’. This is where rock ’n’ roll was born. Sun Records: the company that launched Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. The label that brought the world, “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Breathless,” “I Walk the Line,” “Mystery Train,” “Good Rockin’ Tonight.” The Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll: 70 Years of Sun Records is the official history of this legendary label, and looks at its story in a unique way: through the lens of 70 of its most iconic recordings. From the early days with primal blues artists like Howlin’ Wolf and B.B. King to long nights in the studio with Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, you will see how the label was shaped and how it redefined American music. Accompanying the recordings is the label’s origin story and a look at the mission of the label today, as well as “Sun Spot” sidebars—a fascinating dive into subjects such as how the iconic logo was created, the legendary Million Dollar Quartet sessions, and how the song “Harper Valley, PTA” funded the purchase of the label. Written by two of the most acclaimed music writers of our time, Peter Guralnick and Colin Escott, and featuring hundreds of rare images from the Sun archives as well as a foreword by music legend Jerry Lee Lewis, this is a one-of-a-kind book for anyone who wants to know where it all started.
Book Synopsis ELVIS, the Hand of Fate and SUN by : Darrin Memmer
Download or read book ELVIS, the Hand of Fate and SUN written by Darrin Memmer and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'ELVIS, The Hand of Fate & SUN: The Magic of Without You' is a beautiful, stand-alone project. In essence, it serves as an alternative in terms of artwork to the "ELVIS, "Plan of God" & SUN" soft cover. This soft cover features nearly identical material (sans the Heath memorabilia), but with the book's title being drawn verbatim from Marion Keisker, Rufus Thomas and Sam Phillips' quotes RE: FATE. It was Elvis who said in a '56 interview (by Louis F. Larkin, a piece called "God is my Refuge") that his success in entertainment had to be "a Plan of God," hence where Darrin Memmer pulled the quote. It is based on months of rigorous research, access to primary source materials, and interviews with those who were there at the time, the book provides fascinating, new information and never-before-read eyewitness accounts of Elvis' 12th grade Carnival Variety Show performance and Sun Studio recordings. The front cover of this 268-page, 6x9 soft cover dramatically takes you back to the Lauderdale Courts on January 8, 1953. The precise moment in time when a Boy from Tupelo turned eighteen years old and purposefully began his transition to an entertainer of renown in Memphis. Highlights of this new release include: * "Without You" lyrics and music chart handwritten on 2 pages within a Peters' Blank Music Book. This previously-unseen document courtesy Rose Clayton. * Several pages devoted to the "real story" of which Mildred Scrivener-produced talent show Elvis appeared on (and won) at Humes High * Two long-form interviews about Elvis' appearance on the Humes High talent show: "Elvis In Red" At The Humes Variety Show in '53 with Buzzy Forbess, and Elvis' Audition and Humes Variety Show in '53 with Mary Ruth Forbess. Incredibly, Ms. Forbess reveals that Elvis had to audition (as did the whole cast ostensibly) before appearing on the Humes High School Carnival Presents "The Variety Show," March 27, 1953. * A sweet tenth-grader attending Humes High in 1954 recounts, in detail, being at the Porter-Leath Orphanage and hearing Elvis's debut on Dewey Phillips' radio show 'Red Hot and Blue'. It is the only such memory to ever be printed!* Confirmation by Jud Phillips that Marion Keisker, not his brother, Sam, recorded Elvis' first demo * The back story to the "Elvis at 18" photo taken by his mother, Ms. Presley*A fresh examination of Elvis, Big Mama Thornton, and the recording of "Hound Dog" * Two chapters, "A Music Man Like Nobody Ever Saw" and "Folk Music Fireball", bring you an amazing 30 pages of SUN 209 knowledge Darrin Memmer's 'ELVIS, The Hand of Fate & SUN: The Magic of Without You' devotes fourteen pages to the Jimmy Sweeney demo "Without You" (a passion of Chris Kennedy to be made available as a full-length album by Org Music in the Fall of 2020) and why it was EP's magic moment at Sun Records. This book is published In Memory of Marion Keisker and dedicated to Ms. Mary Ruth Forbess.
