“Big Boss Man” #38 11/4/1967

This song could almost be considered a prototype for "Take This Job And Shove It." First recorded by blues singer Jimmy Reed, Elvis kind of snarls his way through his version. Jerry Reed played guitar on the session, but had issues when pressured to sign over publishing rights to Col. Parker for a tune he'd written for the King. That caused many problems over the years between songwriters and the Colonel.
