From Elvis in Memphis (Music)	comment	From Elvis in Memphis is the twenty-ninth studio album by Elvis Presley, released in 1969. It was released directly after the Live Album Elvis (NBC TV Special) from 1968 and also a return to making actual music that wasn't the Cult Soundtrack to some movie.His 1968 comeback special had made Presley interested in his native city and the Country Music and Soul music that was made popular there. The album, cut with ace producer Chips Moman, shows Elvis in top form, enjoying himself by covering music he actually liked and even bringing him back to the top of the charts with "In the Ghetto".

From Elvis in Memphis (Music) / int_22093e9b	comment	New Sound Album: Elvis singing Memphis soul and country was certainly something the general public hadn't heard him do before. "Wearin' That Loved On Look" also featured an electric-bass lead (by Memphis legend Tommy Cogbill), another novelty for Elvis. And "In The Ghetto" has the normally non-political musician actually addressing a socially conscious topic: poverty in city ghettos. He would basically stick to the Rock/Soul/Country Music/Pop Genre Roulette template established here for the rest of his career.

And while this happens "another little baby child is born in the ghetto", proving that this kind of situation will keep on occurring in the future if nothing is done about it.

(In fact, the song's original title was supposed to be "The Vicious Circle".)

From Elvis in Memphis (Music) / int_6053dc28	comment	Record Producer: As per usual for an Elvis album, none was credited. By that point, Elvis was his own de facto producer, in the sense that he led the sessions and didn't really answer to anyone else. But after working with RCA staff producer Felton Jarvis on his Nashville-based sessions starting in 1966, Presley brought him along to Memphis as a co-producer/A&R representative for this album, the role Jarvis would fill for the rest of Presley's career. However, American Sound Studio owner Chips Moman was one of the hottest producers in the music business at the time, with a very distinct Soul-influenced pop sound, so he became the main driver for the album.

From Elvis in Memphis (Music) / int_cb1d1694	comment	Country Music/Soul: The American Sound Studios house band, informally known as "The Memphis Boys" (led by guitarist Reggie Young and bassist Tommy Cogbill), tended toward a fusion of the two styles. String and horn overdubs tend to push individual songs toward one or the other. Song Style Shift: "I'm Movin' On" is particularly illustrative - it opens as a country shuffle before turning into a horn- and bass-driven soul number.
