Elvis Country
Elvis Presley
Released:
Jan 1971
Label:
Legacy Recordings
Released at the beginning of 1971, Elvis Country is a misleading title. Elvis Tackles the Entirety of the Southern Music Experience in One Fell Swoop would've been more accurate. Country music might serve as Presley's backdrop for these vital recordings, but being a master "synthesist," he manages to incorporate elements of bluegrass, soul, rockabilly, blues, Western swing, gospel and even old time. What's amazing is the fact that he and his band (a who's who of Southern legends, including James Burton, Eddie Hinton and David Briggs) committed this music to tape live in the studio. Amazing!
