peter guralnick - C or D?

I find PG a bit soft, always making everything a bit more "accessible" than it has to be. That said, he's still good. His Elvis books are flawed, since he doesn't spend all that much time talking about the music; it's all so sober and "dignified" and I think that's the wrong way to approach Elvis, even though, yeah, Elvis deserves a lot of compassion. PG is good on the '76 "Hurt" performance by EP--probably the highlight of the second volume, along with the description of the Chips Moman sessions.

...and isn't most american music multiracial by default?
