The Greatest Music
From Elvis in Memphis
The 198th greatest album of all time
From Elvis in Memphis (1969) was recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis with producer Chips Moman and moves away from Presley’s recent movie soundtrack work toward a tighter blend of country, pop and soul often labeled blue-eyed soul or country soul. The arrangements favor a muscular rhythm section, horns and gospel-tinged backing vocals, and the album includes the socially minded song "In the Ghetto" while showcasing a more mature, emotionally direct vocal approach that helped revitalize his studio output.
