Good Rockin’ Tonight

The song “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” released by American artist Roy Brown, was originally a blues number, but the version we’re introducing here by Elvis Presley is done in a rockabilly style.

Elvis often released cover songs, and each one features substantial rearrangements.

If you’re curious how extensive those changes are, be sure to compare his version with the original.

Elvis Presley, Lonely This Christmas! JMK Cover!

This is a song originally released in 1974 by the British rock band Mud, covered by Elvis Presley.

The lyrics tell a sad story of spending a lonely, heartbroken Christmas after a loved one has gone.

Elvis’s slow-tempo, tender vocals are striking, making it a great choice for a relaxed, stripped-down solo performance.

Mystery TrainElvis Presley26rank/position

Mystery Train

Mystery Train, a classic released in 1953 by blues musician Junior Parker.

While I’m introducing Elvis Presley’s cover here, the original is crafted with a quintessential blues melody.

In contrast, Elvis Presley’s version transforms it into an upbeat rockabilly track with a vastly different vibe from the original.

Elvis was renowned for his arranging skills, and comparing the two versions really showcases the strength of his arrangements.

Old ShepElvis Presley27rank/position

Old Shep

Old Shep features a gentle singing voice directed toward a beloved pet.

It’s a song released in 1958 by legendary rock ’n’ roller Elvis Presley.

He sings about the days he spent with Shep, a German Shepherd who had been with him since childhood.

It’s a song that anyone can empathize with, capturing the sorrow the protagonist faces when Shep grows old.

The piece was written by songwriter-lyricists Red Foley and Arthur Willis, but it’s Elvis’s heartfelt vocals—conveying his feelings for Shep—that make the song even more moving.

There’s also a film, Elvis, that shines a spotlight on Elvis Presley’s life! If you’re interested, be sure to head to the theater and check it out!
