“Riveting…a masterwork."
---Wall Street Journal

“Let’s get a little loud….Peter Guralnick’s two-volume life of Elvis Aron Presley, of which Careless Love is the second installment (Last Train To Memphis, is the first,) is not simply the finest rock-and-roll biography ever written, it must be ranked among the most ambitious and crucial biographical undertakings yet devoted to a major American figure of the second half of the twentieth century.”
---Gerald Marzorati, New York Times Book Review
