From Tupelo to Nashville – A Southern Journey with the King

The Country Side of Elvis is a heartfelt tribute to the deep country roots of Elvis Presley, the Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised icon who revolutionized popular music while never straying far from the sounds of the American South. This 2-CD collection explores the country side of the King’s legacy, with over two dozen tracks that span decades of musical storytelling—from his earliest recordings in 1954 to the soul-stirring ballads of the 1970s.

Thoughtfully sequenced in near-chronological order, this set not only showcases Elvis’s vocal evolution but also paints a portrait of an artist who never stopped loving the music that raised him. Whether it’s a Hank Williams cover or a Porter Wagoner classic, every song here feels honest, rootsy, and unmistakably Elvis.

A Carefully Curated Collection

This isn’t just a random collection of songs—it’s a well-crafted anthology that captures Elvis’s most beloved country recordings. With liner notes by respected music historian Colin Escott, tasteful cover art, and a chronological flow that separates early roots from '70s refinement, this collection offers a rewarding listen for casual fans and completists alike.

The second disc focuses solely on material from the 1970s, giving the listener a more mature, soulful side of Elvis's country sound. Despite decades of performing, his voice remained powerful and expressive, proving that the King aged like fine Tennessee whiskey.
