written by larry gatlin...this country weeper is right in his wheel house.
from the first album(from ep blvd) to come from these sessions.

this brilliant cover of george jones' classic was featured on moody blue...the 2nd album from these sessions and the last lp of his lifetime.

this folk tune...by roger whitaker...really captured Elvis' mood.
he never really recovered from his divorce from priscilla.

during the soundtrack period of the 60s...the wilderness period...he developed a love for folk music.
and they would find there way into Elvis' sessions later.

Elvis really knew his way around these dark mood tunes.
this one has always been one of the best from this period.

one of my favorite songs on the first of the graceland albums...from elvis presley blvd.
i love the feeling and emotion of his voice on this one.

https://youtu.be/0QbSgZxjTuI
one of his greatest recordings.
the second single released from these sessions finished in the top 40 and went gold.
a true Elvis essential.

one of my favorites from the ep blvd album.
a brilliant cover.
love the tempo.

https://youtu.be/CYszKu5yE08
just a great recording.
b-side to hurt...the first single from these sessions.

https://youtu.be/rxceB_swSds
the first hit single from the jungle room.
a fan favorite at his live shows,this top 40 hit really show cases Elvis' vocal power.
a true essential.

Elvis loved this irish folk tune.
tapes exist all the way back to germany during his army stint.
he would perform this live in '76 and '77...sometimes at the piano.
sometimes not.
glen d and Elvis produce magic here.
it was type of song he loved to challenge himself with.
he meets it.
a true artist and craftsman.

another country flavored,dark mood wheeper from the lp from ep blvd.

https://youtu.be/e_nTuCP7-PA
not hard to figure out who he's thinkin' about here.
these songs were deeply personal...and thats why they worked.

https://youtu.be/r1xDNcCFFiU
from his last studio album moody blue.
the close out track on that lp.
very real...very raw...deeply personal.
the reality is...
these dark tunes demand to be heard.

https://youtu.be/HHoUJdpCsPs
the best song from these jungle room masters.
an eternal classic.
the king could still rock.

https://youtu.be/_dgl5pSrqWQ
a great recording.
Elvis from time to time would dust off some oldies and really lay'm out.
just a great vocal performance by the true king of genres.

https://youtu.be/NIXo-t_-UU4
the final tune of the session is one of the best.
he was just at home on his throne with a classic country tune as he was with rock,gospel,big ballads or his beloved blues.

his bassist...jerry scheff laid down a track to a song he wrote for these sessions...fire down below.
he had hoped to coax Elvis into a vocal.
sadly...it didnt happen.
https://youtu.be/C3RP5q6cWYY

Elvis tried America The Beautiful at these sessions.
sadly...most of that recording would be lost...tapped over during these sessions.
Elvis and his band also rehearsed feelings...but no recording has surfaced.
probably recorded over as well.

these sessions would sadly be his last.
they rank among his best and blow away the false idea of a fat,over-dosed uninterested artist.

that idiotic take is pure bull-****.
