Nickel Dreams: My Life by Tanya Tucker, Patsi Bale Cox
Embarking upon her singing career at the tender age of 11, Tanya Tucker grew up fast and hard and wild. She seemed destined for either the highest fame or the worst destruction--maybe even both. From the big time to rock bottom and back again, her life reads like a blueprint for one of the melancholy songs that made her a star in country music, and her revealing memoir, Nickel Dreams: My Life, leaves out little of the nitty-gritty. With the aid of author and friend Patsi Bale Cox, Tucker writes honestly about her many exploits that became tabloid fodder--a fiery public affair with Glen Campbell and a long battle with alcoholism among them--without glossing over them or apologizing. There are plenty of anecdotes and revelations about her music as well, plus a peek at the backrooms of the music business and the shady dealings that occur there. Close attention is paid to her childhood and the overbearing presence of a father/manager who wanted his daughter to be a grown woman and a little girl at the same time.
Elvis and Memphis go together like peanut butter and banana on toasted white bread. The city where Elvis spent his high school years in poverty, Memphis is also the place where he kept his roots long after becoming the premier superstar of the century. Memphis Elvis-Style provides the definitive guidebook to the King's city--where he lived and performed, the churches whose music drew him, where he bought his clothes and records, and more.
This book is the defintive story of what has happened to the estate Elvis left behind, the abysmal condition it was in, how it came to grow into a huge success, and how it works tirelessly to promote the Elvis image and defend its control of that image. As Lisa Marie's massive inheritance approaches, everyone wants to know what really goes on behind the closed doors at Elvis, Inc.
