ELVIS PRESLEY - Mystery Train / Tiger Man (Las Vegas 1970) New Edit 4K

"Mystery Train" is a song written and recorded by American blues musician Junior Parker in 1953. Originally performed in the style of a Memphis blues or rhythm and blues tune, it was inspired by earlier songs and later became a popular rockabilly song, as first covered by Elvis Presley, then numerous others. Elvis Presley's version of "Mystery Train" was first released on August 20, 1955, as the B-side of "I Forgot to Remember to Forget".[11] In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 77 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[12] Sam Phillips at Sun Studios again produced the recording, and featured Presley on vocals and rhythm guitar, Scotty Moore on lead guitar, and Bill Black on bass. Moore used a country lead break and fingerstyle picking, with a touch of slapback echo.[13] Moore also drew on elements from earlier songs, such as the guitar riffs from Junior Parker's "Love My Baby" (1953),[14] played by Pat Hare, and "Sixteen Tons" (1946) by Merle Travis.[15][16] Paired with "I Forgot to Remember to Forget", the single reached the Top 10 in Billboard's C&W listings.[17] RCA Victor re-released this recording in November 1955 (#47-6357) after acquiring it as part of a contract with Presley. This issue of the song peaked at number 11 on the national Billboard country chart. That same month, RCA Victor also released a pop version of the song by the Turtles (not to be confused with the 1960s pop group, the Turtles) with backing by Hugo Winterhalter and his Orchestra (47-6356). "Mystery Train" is now considered to be an "enduring classic".[18] It was the first recording to make Elvis Presley a nationally known country music star * "Tiger Man (King of the Jungle)" is a song written by Joe Hill Louis and Sam Phillips (credited as Sam Burns).[1] It was recorded for Sun Records by Rufus Thomas, Jr. in June 1953 and released as a single in July 1953.[2] The song was notably covered by Elvis Presley for his '68 Comeback Special.[3] Another live version was featured in his 1970 concert film Elvis: That's the Way It Is and the accompanying album That's the Way It Is.
