“That’s Alright, Elvis,” James Dickerson and Scotty Moore
Guitarist Scotty Moore, who worked with Elvis at Sun and beyond, was one of the handful of people present when Presley “created” rock and roll, but his memories are even more valuable than that fact would indicate: he was also one of the King’s favorite people (if not quite a close friend, but who was?). Add to that the fact that he knew Elvis well for three full years before the Sun sessions, and this becomes the most important (and least sensational) of the “insider” books.
