Boasting never-before-told stories of life on the road with a young Elvis, this comprehensive guide to Elvis' band gives an insider's view of how the band worked with him onstage, in the studio, and in movies, and features the first comprehensive look at their post-Presley lives and careers. Band members Scotty Moore, D. J. Fontana, and Bill Black created the Sun sound with Elvis, which has influenced such legendary performers as Ringo Starr, George Harrison, John Fogerty, and Charlie Watts. Based on interviews with Moore, Fontana, and the family of the late Bill Black, this resource provides first-hand insights that have never before seen print, as well as several previously unpublished photographs. Extensive coverage of the entire history of the band makes this book is a must for Elvis fans, rockabilly aficionados, and anyone interested in the early history of rock 'n' roll.
The Blue Moon Boys: The Story of Elvis Presley's Band Reviews:
Great book even if you're previously not that familar with Elvis. 
2008-08-23 - I've listened to my fair share of Elvis's music, and I consider myself a generally engaged music fan. This is an involving, entertaining read that I think you will both find interesting and fun. Enjoy.
Elvis' Band!
2008-08-15 - This is the untold - or seldom told, at least - story of Elvis' original band. Scotty Moore was there for his discovery and early success and, along with Bill Black and D.J. Fontana, comprised his first band. For me, they were along for the most interesting part of The King's ride.
Elvis and the Blue Moon Boys
2008-08-11 - The response to the book is amazing! People come out of the woodwork who have an interest in it or the video: 200 Cadillacs. A cousin of a Cadillac recipient, friends or relatives of DJ Fontana, people ith ties to one of the band or Elvis, even a Mensa member who's sister was taken to her prom by Elvis. They all love it!

A Must Read For Rockabillys
2008-05-08 - If you are one of those people like me who like Elvis fine, but really wanted to know just who those guys were who were backing him up with that great bass and guitar (and later drums), then this book is for you. A great addition to Scotty Moore's That's Alright Elvis bio, it documents just how Elvis and his band got together, and why they didn't stay a band together. Die hard Elvis fans would be interested in the stories told of a young Elvis and how he was discovered, but it's the rockabillys and musicians who would be most interested in the band that helped make Rock 'n Roll what it is today.
Good book limited by a lack of fact-checking! 
2007-01-03 - The organization of the book is adequate and the information about Scotty Moore, Bill Black, and D.J. Fontana (and many others) is interesting enough, but ya gotta wonder about the fact-checking and accuracy of what's presented after I found this lu-lu on page 157 concerning The Ventures.
"Many of Presley's 1960s soundtracks feature the talents of guitarist/arranger Billy Strange. Boasting one of the most impressive resumes of his era, Strange scored films, arranged hits for Nancy Sinatra, recorded (uncredited) as part of the Ventures when founding members Nokie Edwards and Bob Bagle went into the army... "
It's Bob BOGLE, not "Bagle", and Bob didn't serve in any of the armed forces. Nokie was in the National Guard but that was back in the 1950s, well before joining The Ventures.
The authors have a number of writing credits and this is hardly their first "venture" into music journalism but this is just careless.
