Reseña

Este álbum de 1970 es la segunda mitad de las legendarias sesiones de grabación en el American Sound Studio de Memphis, que ya habían producido el aclamado 'From Elvis in Memphis'. Por lo tanto, Back in Memphis es una nueva y espectacular colección de canciones que muestran a un Elvis Presley completamente revitalizado. De hecho, es una de las cumbres de su renacimiento artístico.

En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es una cruda y auténtica mezcla de country, soul y blues, con la producción del legendario Chips Moman. La banda de estudio, conocida como los "Memphis Boys", suena con un "groove" y una autenticidad extraordinarios.

Además, el repertorio es de una calidad excepcional. Elvis Presley interpreta con una pasión y una fuerza arrolladoras canciones como "Inherit the Wind" o "Without Love (There Is Nothing)". Como resultado, el disco es una obra maestra del country-soul.

En definitiva, 'Back in Memphis' es la confirmación de que el "Rey" había vuelto para reclamar su trono. Es el sonido de un artista que se reencuentra con sus raíces y que, en el proceso, entrega una de las mejores obras de su carrera.

letra de A Little Bit of Green
Now that the truth is hard to face
I can't forget you once were mine
Someone else is in my place
Whenever we meet my heart beats out of time
Just a little bit of green
Clouds my eyes to what I've seen
Just a little bit of green
When I see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing I can do
Please don't try to tie me down
Those are the words you often say
I can't help seeing you around
You smile with surprise, I turn my eyes away
Just a little bit of green
Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what I've seen
Just a little bit of green
When I see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing I can do
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Just a little bit of green
Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what I've seen
Just a little bit of green
When I see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing I can do
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Just a little bit of green

letra de From a Jack to a King
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding ring
I've played a ace and I won the queen
I walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked, I stacked the cards, I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart
Oh for just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
You made me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw, I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
You made me king of your heart
