This is the might-be-true but definitely untold story of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s “Lost Weekend.”
In September 1959, in the midst of filming the latest in a long line of movies, the brightest star in the celebrity rockabilly universe disappears. Simply vanishes. The police say kidnapping. The movie-mags think secret tryst. Friends fear a mental breakdown. All the while, his agents and handlers are furiously attempting to keep the entire saga under wraps and hidden from millions of adoring fans.
But behind it all, there is a mysterious but beautiful story of love and promise set in rural Mississippi. Hilarious in parts but heartwarming throughout, Monday Mornin’ at the Catfish Grill brings a fascinating twist to the legend of one of America’s most adored music icons.

“One of my favorite books in a long time…I went through it so fast too! Loved seeing the ‘real’ photos of the characters. My favorite part was the ‘Baby Bunny’ song and that part of the story.”
