January 03 - A Hell Of A Ride

Pat West and Jon W. Sparks have finished the upcoming book "A Hell Of A Ride: Recollections of a Remarkable Life Before, During and After Elvis & The Memphis Mafia" by Red and Pat West. There is no definite publication date yet, they hope to get it published this year.

Red West and Elvis were friends ever since the day in high school when Red broke up a plan by some punks in the boys room to give shy outsider Elvis an unwanted haircut with a pair of scissors. The events between that moment and Red’s death in 2017 could fill a book, and that’s just what he and his wife Pat were finishing up when an aortic aneurysm felled the man who was not only a friend and confidant to Elvis, but also someone who had carved out his own career as a songwriter and film and television actor.
