    He records this later in a rather naughty aspect and in a more blues aspect and makes it another banger! Elvis just rocks this song all the way around. TCB Seph

    For me this song always seems like the odd one out from the Memphis Sessions. It's a fantastic groovy blues number that would have been perfectly placed, if only Elvis had made an album truely dedicated to "The Blues" genre of music. What a masterpiece that would have been!! Joe Cocker made a statement that Elvis was the greatest white blues singer in the world. I always feel sorry that his artistic genius in this genre was never fully recognized by the establishment.
    Great reaction Seph👍

    Agree, one of the best albums. Love his bluesy songs!
    On another topic, earlier you mentioned that you love seeing Elvis perform his songs, as all of us do. There’s so many live performances coming in the 70’s.
    I know you listened to his hits from the 50’s, but did you ever watch his first appearances on Ed Sullivan, Milton Berle and Frank Sinatra shows, where he performs them on national tv? I may have missed it if you did because I joined your channel later. But if you didn’t, it’s a must see from the standpoint of Elvis history and just music history in general!! It really shook things up back then!

    Had Elvis been doing tracks like "Stranger in my own hometown" in 1965 Lennon would not have had cause to criticise him on his artistic direction when they met at Graceland. This jam session recording goes some way to give an idea of what a Presley/Beatles jam session might have sounded like.

    Elvis is a master of the Blues.... He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame (criteria is "mastery of the genre") He's also in the country, rock, gospel, and rockabilly Halls of Fame. A master of music!! No one else even comes close to being inducted into so many genres... I think Johnny Cash is next with 3...but one of them is Songwriter Hall of Fame. Xo

      Thank you ever do much Miss Kathi and truth be told I did not realize that the X- rated version was recorded in Hollywood, CA. Someone told me that it was a jam session during the recording of the country album in Nashville. I didn't really think to question them and so when I checked the recording session log book for February 17, 1969 I noticed an absence of mention of the X- rated Blues jam session. So I did some digging and as it turns out I learned that that version was not recorded at all in Nashville or Memphis but in Hollywood, CA.
      I was a little bit surprised by that 😄

  • @sallycook
    @sallycook 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    An interesting observation in Jorgensen’s A Life In Music “The next tune up was a blues, “Stranger In My Own Home Town”-a perfect choice, surprising only because Elvis rarely recorded straight blues. This was a selection from that brief period of intensive listening and home recording in 1966, when Elvis had begun rediscovering his own musical foundations. The song’s lyrics could be read as a gloss on either his life in Memphis or his place in the rock world circa 1969 (“My home town won’t accept me/Just don’t feel welcome ’round here no more”)”

    Before I say anything: DO NOT REACT TO THE X- RATED BLUES JAM SESSION VERSION YET! TOO SOON!
    The X- Rated Blues jam session of "Stranger In My Own Hometown" was not recorded until July 24, 1970 at RCA Studios in Hollywood, CA so you would be jumping out of chronological order if you did so, Seph.
    Right now you are in February of 1969 so yes you have a year + of song & recorded concert/ live performance Elvis material to get through yet before you hit July of 1970, just sayin' 😊
    Alright now that I got THAT out of the way, onwards & upwards!
    "Stranger In My Own Hometown" was written by Percy Mayfield (more on him later).
    Recorded at American Sound Studios in Memphis, Tennessee on February 17, 1969 (Monday) between the hours of 8:00 p.m.- 11:00 p.m
    Producers: Felton Jarvis/ Chip Moman
    Engineer: Al Pachucki
    Technician: Roy Shockley
    Musicians:
    Guitar: Elvis Presley
    Guitar: Reggie Young
    Organ: Bobby Emmons
    Bass: Tommy Cogbill
    Piano: Bobby Wood
    Harmonica: Ed Knollis
    Drums/ Tambourine: Gene Chrisman
    Take 1: (Master) 4:55 Undubbed, unedited master
    Overdub (Master) Backup vocals on May 6, 1969 (morning) (not used)
    Overdub (Master) String overdubs on May 7, 1969 (afternoon)
    Overdub (Master) 4:55 Bass overdubs on May 7, 1969 (evening)
    Faded Master: 4:23 Master faded
    Percy Mayfield info:
    One of the most acclaimed singer/songwriters in rock history, Mayfield’s career was cut in half by a tragic accident that derailed his performing considerably after which he turned more to songwriting for hire where he made an equal mark.
    Percy Mayfield was born in 1920 in Louisiana but was raised in Houston, Texas. Moving to Los Angeles in the mid-1940’s, Mayfield was already writing prolifically and secured recording contracts with small independent labels while at the same time hawking those same songs to others.
    Upon signing to the larger independent Specialty Records in 1950, Mayfield’s career took off when his debut for the label, “Please Send Me Someone To Love” hit #1 on the charts, soon becoming something of a standard in rock as well as one of the genre’s first explicit message songs.
    Over the next few years Mayfield was a consistent seller with his brand of laconic ballads sung behind the beat boasting deep and introspective lyrics, often of a despondent nature, all of it with a jeweler’s eye for detailed wordplay, giving him seven Top Ten hits over two and a half years.
    Then in 1952 Mayfield was nearly killed in an automobile accident on the way back from a show in which he was pronounced dead on the scene. Though he survived he was left severely disfigured, his face caved in beyond the ability of any plastic surgery to fully restore his features. The proud singer bemoaned the loss of his looks and never regained the commercial success he’d enjoyed before, either due to the two year layoff while recovering, the lack of his ability to promote the music on the road now that he was no longer touring or simply because his highly intelligent personal lyrics fell out of favor with the changing market focusing ever more on more gaudy displays.
    Despite some excellent material cut following his accident Mayfield didn’t find much to be happy about professionally until Ray Charles, who’d been a longtime admirer of his work, began asking him for material and Percy wrote some of Ray’s biggest early 60’s hits including “At The Club”, “Hide Nor Hair”, “But On The Other Hand, Baby” and “Hit The Road, Jack”. Charles then signed Mayfield to his own Tangerine label as an artist which got Percy back on the charts with a re-make of one of his early 50’s sides.
    After that, though charting just twice more, he never lacked for recording opportunity, as some of the biggest labels signed him for the prestige of working with someone so highly respected. Other major stars from Elvis Presley to Aretha Franklin recorded his songs and Mayfield became comfortable enough with his altered appearance (he was left with a deep gruesome scar across his once handsome face) to become an engaging live performer once again in small settings where his charm was intoxicating to all those who saw him.
    Mayfield died in 1984 of a heart attack just one day before what would’ve been his 64th birthday.
    Finally: There is the Memphis 1969 undubbed, unedited master available for a listen however that version is dubbed into 1970 Las Vegas Rehearsal Elvis film footage even though the first version of the song was recorded in Memphis in 1969.
    So I have no idea if you want to do a re- reaction right now or wait until you get to 1970. It is totally up to you, Seph.
    Here is the link in case you are interested: Elvis "Stranger In My Own Hometown" Take 1 (Undubbed & unedited) 4:56 long: m.th-cam.com/video/Zc1L7K9aSLg/w-d-xo.html
    And in case you are interested (in future) to react to the July 24, 1970 blues jam X- Rated version (recorded at RCA Studios in Hollywood, CA) here is the link to that one, 5:28 long:
    m.th-cam.com/video/d9f427lGdhU/w-d-xo.html
    And that is it Seph & everyone! That is all I got!
    Also, Seph, I have to be honest I much prefer the blues jam X- Rated version and most of the lyrics in that one are Elvis totally ad- libbing. I compared Elvis's lyrics to Percy Mayfield's lyrics and lyrically not really all that similar. Elvis just borrowed the chorus and added his own verses.
    So maaayyybbbeeee after giving a listen to the X- Rated Blues jam session you'll change your mind... I have no idea what your opinion is on salty lyrical content (that is mature language in song lyrics).
    Anyway, it should be pretty interesting to hear which version of this song you prefer after you have listened to the other two!
    I do agree with you on this one. But I will say that since I have had the added benefit of all three versions that I also think the overdubbed and edited version is the weakest version.
    My very humble opinion only 😀
    GREAT REACTION SEPH! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR DOING ALL THAT YOU DO!
