Sobre el álbum
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'. Back in Memphis es una nueva y espectacular colección de canciones que muestran a un Elvis Presley completamente revitalizado. Es una de las cumbres de su renacimiento artístico.
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.
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)". El disco es una creación notable del country-soul.
'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
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 - And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind3:09

Letra
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 - The Fair Is Moving On3:05
- You'll Think of Me4:01
