Summary: 4 Stars
It's a very easy read. Lots of inside stories. About the author,
Jerry Naylor. He replaced Buddy Holly, as lead singer of The Crickets-
after his tragic death. The Grand Old Opera went for big stars.
They didn't like Elvis, who was a new comer. He went on tour with The
Louisiana Hayride. They took a chance on new talent,rejected by
The Grand Old Opera.Here's a quote from the book. " Those three nights
January 5,6 &7, 1955 literally changed the music world forever.The
Beatles trace their inspiration to that famous Louisiana Hayride tour. Buddy Holly & The Crickets, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings also trace their early inspiration to this early Elvis Tour. "
