I just heard Stranger In My Own Home Town by Elvis for the first ever time today. Im usually only interested by his early rock and roll material but was really impressed with this song. It was originally written by Percy Mayfield (who also wrote Hit The Road Jack) and recorded by him back in 1964. Elvis then recorded his version of the song in 1969 and was released on his Back In Memphis record. Elvis sounds so suave yet possessed with attitude as he belts out this bluesy version of a great song. The band also grooves along and just basically sound fantastic.Sunday, September 5, 2010
