'Freedom needs no introduction
'Got to keep moving same direction
'Freedom needs no by-election
'Got to keep moving same direction…
'—Politician, Dilip Balakrishnan
'Shantanu Dattas career as a journalist placed him at the forefront of music reportage in India for much of the past three decades, and therefore gave him unprecedented access to the greatest performers from around the world who played in the South Asian subcontinent.This book compiles, for the first time, the detailed interviews he conducted with seminal artistes like Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), Ian Anderson and Martin Barre (JethroTull), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) and many others including Dr L. Subramaniam, John McLaughlin, Sting, Jean-Luc Ponty, Carlos Santana and Amyt Datta. His candid, informed conversations with these enduring legends provide a rare glimpse into the minds of those trailblazers who influenced entire generations with their music. Dattas own life too emerges in vignettes throughout the book, as he deftly weaves together his professional life with the personal through shared threads of melody and song. Written with an exceptional depth of knowledge, Calling Elvis is an absolute treat for musicians and music-lovers everywhere.
