The first installment of Guralnick's two volumes on Elvis Presley recounts the first 24 years of the singer's life. In an articulate and well-researched work, the author takes a masterful and sober approach to the entertainment legend's often amazing story. Kevin Stillwell's narration is a joy. Relaxed yet compelling, he details the biography's vast stores of detailed information without artifice. Stillwell's pacing is brisk, and his baritone makes extended listening a pleasure. Wisely, he makes no attempt to recreate the myriad variations of Southern accents. For an in-depth, high-quality listen to a great biography of an American icon--look no further than this audiobook.
