Description:	Between 1968 and 1977, Elvis Presley recorded some of the most urgent, defiant, tender and puzzling performances of his career. This was the era of reinvention and resistance, of artistic rebirth and gradual retreat. From the raw electricity of the television "comeback" to the orchestral sweep of the concert years, from the creative blaze of Memphis to the twilight recordings in the Jungle Room, the story is neither simple triumph nor easy decline. The Freedom of My Chains examines every master recording from these final nine years with clarity and candour. Each session is placed in context, each song weighed on its own merits, each triumph celebrated and each misstep considered without sentimentality. Producers, songwriters, studios and circumstances all play their part in a narrative that is as much about control and compromise as it is about voice. This is not a book about myth. It is about work. About choices. About a man still capable of greatness, sometimes soaring, sometimes faltering, always compelling. Source: book back cover.
