Ferriday's famous cousins topic of new book
"Unconquered: The Saga of Cousins Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley," will go on sale May 1.
J.D. Davis' new biography of cousins Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley, born within a 12-month span in Ferriday during the Great Depression, draws from research and personal connections with friends and family, Davis said.
He said his book "recreates the irresistible and life-changing power of music" the cousins shared in their paths to fame.
"Their journeys were set alongside important landmarks in pop-culture history," Davis said.
Davis said he has been a fan of the music of Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley much of his life. He spent several years researching the lives of these men for this book.
Davis also explains the kinship between the three.For the full story, subscribe to the The Concordia Sentinel's NEW E-Edition! |
