Review
Elvis Presley's TCB Band rhythm guitarist, John Wilkinson, tells his story. The first member of the TCB Band to write a book, Wilkinson describes meeting Elvis Presley twice as a boy and a young man, who left a lasting impression on the King of Rock and Roll. So much so that when Elvis decided to form a band, quit the movies and return to live performance, he tapped John (who was also recommended by Presley's lead guitarist, the legendary James Burton) to join. From the first concert in 1969 until the final in 1977, John played more than 1,100 performances with Elvis, never missing a show. For fans curious about what Elvis was really like during these years, Wilkinson's wonderful story will reassure them that Elvis never lost it and always had it. A must for any Elvis fan's book collection and a great story for anyone who enjoys musician biographies.

Comment: A great read by the "quiet" TCB band member. John has a sincere kindness and fresh approach to these memories he is sharing within these pages. His story is quite fascinating and enjoyable to read about...
he's definitely "been there, done that", yet his humility remains intact, and is definitely displayed here.
The book reads as if John is personally talking with you in person... I highly recommend it!

Comment: the Author shows his writing chops enough in this biog to enhance the story, without making the story revolve around his talents as an author, which is refreshing. There isn't much by way of gratuitous verbage- just here's a guy with an incredible story...and I mean, really really interesting...dude met elvis on 3 seperate occassions YEARS apart, starting from a young kid, leading to his eventual employment.

I really enjoyed it, and recommend it to not only fans of elvis and music, but fans fo Biogs in general.
Summary: An honest account by Elvis' rythm guitarist and friend.

Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The only reason I gave it four stars is because of editing. Other than that, the content is excellent. John really loves and respects Elvis still, that much is evident. But, he is not afraid to talk about the tough stuff or give his opinion of all the hangers-on ie..Memphis Mafia. He has great stories in here you won't find anywhere else, and some you will but from his perpective. The differences here, over other Elvis books, is that one: it has the ring of truth, two: it does not try to rewrite in order to glorify the writer and three: you won't find any Elvis bashing here. Just great stories by a fantastic guitarist who loved, worked for and admired Elvis Presley. I highly recommend it!
Summary: An amazing read

Comment: Unique in it's own right, this is an interesting and educational read. I totally enjoyed reading about John's life and his various meetings and involvement with many musical artist. Elvis fans will appreciate the honesty of John and his one on one with the KING not to mention others in the entertainment industry. You will not be disappointed with this book.
