Notes: 280 pages hardcover book with color and b/w photos about Elvis' "Texas career" between 1954 and 1977.

Liner notes: ROCKIN' ACROSS TEXAS is a travel document. The traveller is Elvis Presley and the territory travellet is Texas. We meet the 19-year old Elvis Presley in the fall of 1954. Just turned full time professional, he embarks on his first trip to Texas and we follow his Lone Star adventures through to the last tours as superstar in 1977.

Stanley Oberst tells anecdotes of these Texas anecdotes through the eyes, lenses and microphones of those who were there. Based on an incredible research effort, details of early and previously unknown shows have been uncovered. Pictures, buried deep in shoe boxes in attics, have been brought to the light, and Iwo soundboard recordings of shows in Amarillo (1974) and Fort Worth (1976) have been restored and are included in the book on two full length CD's.
 


The intros of the Fort Worth show are not complete.

This title is now deleted from the FTD catalog!


Concert: Both concerts do present Elvis in good shape and great voice. The setlists are typical for the respective years and offer nothing new. Even the 1976 show is not bad and we see that our man still could do it if he only was in the right mood. Well chosen, Ernst ! (Ciscoking)
