The 151-page paperback titled 'All Shook Up: The Rise of Elvis Presley' covers the King's early career from the day he recorded his first song until his induction into the US Army. It covers his early struggles on the road with his trusted musicians showing that he was no overnight sensation.
"During my research for this book I spoke to many people who knew Elvis or worked with him at the time including Scotty Moore, Jerry Lee Lewis, George Hamilton IV, Billy Walker and J.D.Sumner amongst others," said Pete.
Pete has performed as a singer and guitarist, as well as a comedian and compere, all over the United Kingdom, under the stage name Pete Nelson.
Riley Keough on Lisa Marie and Graceland
With the success of NBC's 'Christmas At Graceland' Riley Keough appeared on SiriusXM radio to discuss the TV special and thoughts about her mother, Lisa Marie.
Keough was on SiriusXM show 'Inside Graceland' speaking with host Joel Weinshanker, who as the managing partner and majority owner of EPE and friend of Lisa Marie is very familiar with Elvis' legacy.
During the show Keough admitted that she found it "crazy" that her mum didn't enjoy the attention that comes from being a part of a famous family. Weinshanker noted that it odd that Priscilla loved being in the limelight while her mother was exactly the opposite.
Keough explained, "I think, you know, everybody's different. My mother - Lisa Marie - wasn't somebody who liked attention. She didn't like being in the public eye, which is a crazy situation that she was born into for somebody who doesn't like attention. She didn't like being in the public eye, which is a crazy situation that she was born into for somebody who doesn't like attention.
But she loved coming to Graceland, she loved the fans, and she loved being with the original generation of Elvis fans. And my grandmother (Priscilla), for so many years obviously dedicated her whole life to Elvis' legacy.
I don't really know where I exist on that spectrum. I love being involved, because it's my family and I care about them, and we'll see how that works out in the future. But this recent show ('Christmas at Graceland') has been a nice experience".
Riley is now the owner of Graceland as well as the managing partner and majority owner of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
