About This Book

"Engaging... [a] biography of three men bound by blood, music, and a lifelong struggle to strike a balance between the sacred and secular."— Publishers Weekly

Three cousins, inseparably bonded through music. Each became a star; their story would become a legend. J. D. Davis's enthralling new biography of famous cousins Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley, born within a twelve-month span in small-town Louisiana during the Great Depression, draws from exhaustive research and personal connections with friends and family. Davis recreates the irresistible and life-changing power of music that surrounded the cousins as boys and shaped their engagingly distinct paths to fame. With three personal journeys set alongside important landmarks in pop-culture history, Davis presents a unique tale of American music centered on the trials, tribulations, and achievements of three men who remain truly Unconquered.

A ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Award Honorable Mention for Biography

"This is a good read, and not just for the hard-core fan. It will appeal to anyone interested in the dynamics of rock 'n' roll, country music, and evangelical Christianity and what happens when the aesthetics and lifestyles of those three worlds collide. Highly recommended."— Library Journal

"God, the devil, and everything in between. This book is a great representation of the duality plane on which we exist.'"—Leon Russell, legendary musician, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member

" Unconquered clearly depicts the fascinating story of three great musical artists who were cousins in real life but icons in the world of music. Each man conquered life's roadblocks to achieve his ultimate goals."—Tom Schedler, former Louisiana Secretary of State
