My mother was a huge Elvis Presley fan, so as I young child his music was often playing on an 8-track cassette in the car. The first record I remember owing was Elvis, and I even got to see him live in concert with Mom where I grew up in Huntsville, Alabama in 1977. It must have been his last tour.

This song was the punk rock of it’s day and it still sounds pretty good.
