From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee is the twenty-third studio album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released by RCA Records in May 1976.[6] It became Presley`s fourth album to reach #1 on the Billboard country music album sales chart within the last four years.[7]
"Hurt" was a top 10 hit on both the country and adult contemporary charts, while "For the Heart" stalled at #45 on the country charts. The former did make the pop top 30.[7] Both songs would again find success on the country charts in the `80s – "For the Heart" became the first single for The Judds in 1983, while Juice Newton took her version of "Hurt" to #1 in 1986.[8]
From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee was certified Gold on October 10, 1977 by the RIAA.[9]
Content
It is often assumed that From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee is a concert recording as the album states the songs were "recorded live". While this is true, it means the songs were recorded live in the recording studio set up in Presley`s mansion, Graceland, not in front of an audience.[10] Two songs recorded during the session, "Moody Blue" and "She Thinks I Still Care" would be released the following year on his final album, Moody Blue.
Reissues
In 2000 the album`s tracks were added to Moody Blue to create an expanded 19-track CD of the latter title.
[11] In 2000 a two-disc edition of From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee was issued on the "Follow That Dream" label.[12]
