Riding high on the success of Aloha From Hawaii, Elvis did something remarkable. He decided that his next recording project would be on his home turf Memphis, Tennessee. The most desirable studio in town was the red-hot STAX - the launching pad of such greats as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and Isaac Hayes. In 1973, Elvis assembled the very best musicians in town - members of Booker T. and The MGs, The Memphis Boys and his own TCB band to create the ultimate band and he searched for fresh new material that would reflect his new path. Songs as “I Got A Feelin' In My Body” and “Loving Arms” demonstrate an artist looking to broaden his palette and his reach.

Elvis At Stax captures Elvis at his most free and creative, trying out new soulful rock ’n’ roll sounds with a brilliant backing band at the famous Stax studios which were near where he lived in Memphis.

FFO: Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins.
