Elvis Presley - Finding The Way Home: Disc 2

CD 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbk8zFrdSFg&t=888s

CD-2:

1. Kentucky Rain (7:03) (take 1. 4 false starts and 1 alternate take)

The first attempt at this classic song, slower than the final version, can almost be called a take, were not for Chips Moman's interference: "I like that tempo but it needs a little edge to it". various false starts lead to a complete and slightly faster take, a sure beauty but still not satisfactory for Elvis, he felt he could do better and he could.

2. Suspicious Minds (4:44) (takes 4,5,6)

Another three takes of this beautiful Mark James composition and once more Elvis can be heard struggling with that same line. With take 8 being the master, though long overdue, we now have every available attempt at this song.

3. In The Ghetto (6:45) (takes 7,8,9,10,11)

On the first disc we heard the first two takes of this great song. Another five takes represent a further development in a different key and with several backing variations. Listen how the guitar, piano and drum parts change with every take, fascinating.

4. You'll Think Of Me (5:00) (takes 4,5,6)

Though not as strong as other takes, this one deserves to be heard by more people than just the musicians and technicians present at the recording session. "Play one more, that was my fault" comes the voice from Chips from the control room after yet another fault made in fact by Elvis himself on the opening line "there's something deep inside my soul keeps calling me". Unfortunately Elvis sounds slightly off mike near the end of take 8, he knew the song needed some more work, some 15 more takes in fact.

6. From A Jack To A King (2:25) (2 false starts 1 alternate take)

Though not complete we felt that you deserved these three takes of Ned Miller's classic. Listen to the great alternative vocal attack on the line "With no regret I stuck the cards last night".

7. Without Love (2:57) (take 4)

Every attempt at this powerful song must be heard by the serious listener, although on this take there are serious problems with the tempo for both Elvis and his band. One time Elvis sings to fast and tries to slow down the and, another time it is the other way around and during the last line they are completely lost and ruin the song.

8. Wearin' That Loved On Look (3:08) (3 false starts and 1 alternate take)

Four further takes and yet again Elvis struggles over the opening line, much to his delight, so it seems.

9. If I'm A Fool For Loving You (3:08) (takes 6,7,5)

Another three takes of this superb country ballad. No other complete take except for the one on disc one, could be unearthed bur Elvis' delivery is so beautiful on these takes we just had to include them for your listening pleasure.

10. Only The Strong Survive (3:25) (3 false starts and 1 alternate take*)

Three false starts lead into the now legendary take that was first released on "American Crown Jewels" with Elvis doing his famous monologue during the break. No further explanation necessary why we include it yet again.

11. A Little Bit Of Green (4:32) (takes 2,1*)

A beautiful second take has Elvis struggling with the line "clouds my eyes of what I've seen". Listen how he clowns with the word "Clouds." Except for his laughter near the end of the first take, this one is a beautiful version.

12. Kentucky Rain (6:42) (2 false starts and takes 7, 10)

Several further takes of this classic song. Just listen to the jazzy playing by Gene Chrisman on drums and Bobby Wood on piano during the "I showed your photograph.." verse catches Elvis off guard. After take 10, the actual master, we can hear Chips Moman say: "Elvis, you were singing the hell out of it". nothing is further from the truth. It took them six hours to record this song with it's difficult key changes and tempos but it was worth it. it would provide Elvis with his fourth hit-single from these legendary sessions.
