This book focuses on the music of Presley's groundbreaking early years and includes a comprehensive analysis of every Presley recording session from the 1950s. Chapters show how Presley, with one foot in delta mud and the other in a country hoedown, teamed with Scotty Moore and Bill Black to fuse two distinctly American musical forms-country and blues-to form what would come to be known as "rockabilly."

Also detailed is Presley's influence on music and how his contributions are still celebrated today.
