Song of the Week #5 – “That’s All Right”
Written by admin on June 7, 2010 – 6:01 am -| Elvis Presley’s very first single, “That’s All Right,” is this week’s song of the week.
This is one of the most important songs ever recorded. Nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley, with sidemen Scotty Moore (guitar) and Bill Black (bass), were on a break during a studio session when they began improvising on an old blues song by Arthur Crudup. Producer Sam Phillips was amazed by what he heard and asked them to back up and try it again. The result was a new and unique sound which became known as rockabilly. |

Elvis Presley’s “Nashville Marathon” – 40 years on
Written by admin on June 4, 2010 – 4:21 pm -On this day forty years ago, Elvis Presley began a five-day recording session at RCA’s Studio B in Nashville. The session has since been dubbed the “Nashville Marathon.”
This was Elvis’s first substantial studio time since the now legendary sessions of January and February 1969 at the American Studios in Memphis. Elvis had entered those Memphis sessions off the back of a successful television special and had approached the sessions like a hungry fighter aiming to reclaim his title. This focus led to some of the finest recordings of Elvis’ career, including hits such as “Suspicious Minds,” “In the Ghetto” and “Kentucky Rain,” and two impressive albums in “From Elvis in Memphis” and “Back in Memphis.” In short, the Nashville sessions had a lot to live up to.
