In 1969 Elvis Presley
returned to Memphis to
record his first
hometown session in 13
years. He returned to
Memphis with renewed
focus and ambition
sparked by his wildly
successful TV comeback
special the previous
month. In just two
weeks of sessions he
made some of the most
memorable and
artistically
satisfying music of
his career.
This burst of
inspired creativity
resulted in the
critically acclaimed
album
From Elvis In Memphis
and its companion
Back In Memphis.
"Suspicious Minds,"
"In The Ghetto,"
"Don't Cry Daddy" and
"Kentucky Rain" were
among the
unforgettable hits
that resulted. This
40th anniversary
Legacy Edition
contains every track
from the sessions
recorded at American
Studios in Memphis in
January and February
of 1969.
