By now Elvis decided to record what he wanted, instead of the dreck he’d been given for movie soundtracks. He kept trying this one but couldn’t get the proper vibe. Elvis asked that Jerry Reed (the song’s writer) be brought in to play acoustic guitar. Jerry cut short a fishing trip, returned to Nashville and voila! A posthumous 1981 electrified remix featuring Reed was the last of 11 country #1’s for the King.
