Leroy Kirby, an Elvis-like singer and musician from Mississippi, transforms himself from a guitar-playing redneck into a rock-'n-roll legend, moving from recording sessions and appearances on Ed Sullivan to wild nights in the fast lane of the recording industry.
""Childress has redefined the American epic. He takes us on a wild ride through the last three decades as his fictional hero, Leroy Kirby, makes his meteoric rise to stardom, from the poverty-stricken child of an overprotective mother and absent father, to an icon who stands for everything American -- a role that will ultimately consume him. After reading [this book], you will never think about the South, fame, or rock-and-roll the same way again"--Amazon.com."
