Another in a series of back-to-basics records by Elvis, partly to distance himself from those (mostly putrid) movie soundtracks he did earlier in the 60’s. Jerry Reed wrote this one as well as “Guitar Man.” He also played acoustic guitar for the King on both tracks, but balked when Colonel Parker expected Reed to sign away his publishing rights. Jerry held his ground, and Elvis had his biggest hit in two years.
