Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley, born within a twelve-month span in small-town Louisiana during the Great Depression. Three cousins, inseparably bonded through music. Each became a star; their story would become a legend. Davis recreates the irresistible and life-changing power of music that surrounded the cousins as boys and shaped their engagingly distinct paths to fame. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

All three tackled the grinding poverty of their youth to make something of themselves and while Gilley comes across as the one you would feel safest having a drink with, I found the author's portrayal of Swaggart considerably more sympathetic than I've seen elsewhere. Whether Swaggart deserves that sympathy is probably up to the individual reader.
One minor gripe; Jerry Lee Lewis is referred to as Jerry throughout. I'm so used to the Killer being Jerry Lee that it took me a while to undiscombobulate myself. ( )
