"Ranks alongside Fred Goodman's The Mansion On The Hill and Frederic Dannen's Hitmen as a classic of music industry reporting." -- Billboard Magazine

European edition of the book

(For European readers, the cover at right is the one you will see in bookstores.)

"The most incisive and comprehensive look at the life of the elusive Colonel available." -- Mojo magazine, December 2003

"Nash doesn't ask us to forgive Parker, or even like the man, but rather to understand him as a hopeless emotional f**k-up, not the one-dimensional monster most Elvis storytellers resort to. She succeeds, brilliantly...Bloody good read." Five stars. --Uncut magazine, December 2003

"Part biography, part murder mystery, and perhaps the most thoroughly researched music book ever written, THE COLONEL is an intriguing...piece of investigative journalism." -- The (London) Observer, November 2003
