Rick Bragg’s biography chronicles the life of rock‑and‑roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis, from his Troubled Southern roots and explosive hits such as “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire” to the controversies, personal losses, and enduring collaborations that shaped American music.

"Dylan on Dylan is an authoritative, chronologically arranged anthology of interviews, speeches, and press conferences, as well as excerpts from more than eighty additional Q&As spanning Dylan’s entire career—from 1961 through 2016. The majority have not been previously anthologized and some have never before appeared in print. The material comes from renowned media outlets like Rolling Stone and TV's 60 Minutes and from obscure periodicals like Minnesota Daily, a student newspaper at Dylan’s alma mater. Interviewers include some of the top writers of our time, such as Jonathan Lethem, Douglas Brinkley, and Mikal Gilmore, as well as musicians like Pete Seeger and Happy Traum. Introductions put each piece in context and, in many cases, include the interviewer’s reminiscences about the encounter."--Inside dust jacket.
