This is the first volume of a definitive double-trilogy of books on the iconic musician - and friends.It is an engaging and often humorous style that gives precedence to dialogue over narrative. This first work explores the young guitarist-singer's teen years in 1950s America: the sock hops, the jukeboxes, record players and radio. Within the context of the Old Opry, the Louisiana Hayride, the Ozark Jubilee, and the Saturday Jamboree, along with Tin Pan Alley, Holly's musical roots are encompassed. These entertainers include: Woodie Guthrie, Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubbs, Red Foley, Bo Diddley, T-Bone Walker, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Muddy Waters, Lowell Fulson, 'Lightnin' Hopkins, Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf, Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills, Bill Monroe, Hank Snow, Patsy Montana, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Frankie Laine; and early days on television with Gene Autry, Dale Evans, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, and Davy Crockett. Others influencing Holly's musical mix also covered include: Fats Domino, Mahalia Jackson, Hank Ballard, the Drifters, the Clovers, the Andrews Sisters, Nat King Cole, the Mills Bros, and the Ink Spots.
