Elvis Presley died 42 years ago today. Look back at 10 of his best country songs here
While Elvis Presley’s musical output was defined more by rock & roll in the Fifties and Sixties, and, later, by easy listening ballads and orchestral anthems, the vocalist maintained a strong affinity for country music throughout his career. The Seventies especially found Presley diving wholeheartedly into country recordings: his final Number One single would be on the country charts, with 1977’s “Moody Blue.
Loping along with Moore’s guitar wailing like a pedal steel, Presley colors in shades of expression with his bluesy croon, shuddering and modulating through his elastic vocal range. Above all, “I Forgot to Remember to Forget” is dripping with attitude, an apology letter that turns into a kiss-off, all thanks to Presley’s delivery.
