OUR 7th Annual SOUTHERN MUSIC ISSUE, with FREE CD (containing a whopping 29 songs) is now available ...

You'll probably love this performance since there's nothing Las Vegas-schlocky about it; both Elvis and his band sound insanely red-hot. As Alan Light, former editor of SPIN, VIBE, and TRACKS, says in his perceptive companion piece, on this track Elvis "sang like a man with something to prove."
