Ranking: Songs from From Elvis In Memphis (69)
Part of the Elvis comeback that began with the December 1968 TV special, From Elvis In Memphis is a high point in his discography. Recorded in early 1969 (released in June that year) at Chip Moman's studio it showcases an Elvis fully engaged. Moman was co-Producer and the album uses his house band known as the Memphis Boys.
Sessions so good that not even the two best songs from them, "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain" made the album tracklist. Released as lone singles later on. The sad part is that Elvis never used Moman again on any recording (no thanks to Colonel Parker), but what we have here is some of the best Pop/Rock/Country/Soul sessions ever recorded. The King was back.
