If you ask about Elvis, many people would say he was an excellent singer who performed rockabilly, rock and roll, ballads and even country music but very few people know he was also an amazing blues and rhythm and blues player and these musical styles were a deep influence on the development of his musical career The first twelve songs include some of Elvis favourite bluesmen, that is to say, the ones he listened to until he was twenty-five years old, such as Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup, Roy Brown, Kokomo Arnold, Little Junior Parker, Big Mama Thornton, Ray Charles, Lloyd Price or Big Joe Turner From song thirteen to twent four Elvis Presley himself plays different blues songs like That’s All Right Mama, Good Rocking Tonight, Milk Cow Blues Boogie, Baby Let’s Play House, Mistery Train, My Baby Left Me, Hound Dog, I Got A Woman or Lawdy Miss Clawdy among others
