• Track Listing

This new HBO film does what so many other features on Elvis Presley have failed to do: it takes us behind the larger-than-life rock ’n’ roll icon and introduces us to the man who was, through music, forever searching for that certain something that seemed to be missing in life. His collaborators and those who knew him best helped created this vivid portrait of Elvis, and this soundtrack does that, too, as this is not a "greatest hits," but is a song-by-song sketch of the artist and the man: "Trouble/Guitar Man," "My Baby Left Me," "That’s All Right," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Are You Lonesome Tonight," "It’s Now or Never," "Suspicious Minds" (take 6), "Separate Ways" (rehearsal), "Hurt" (take 5), "If I Can Dream" and more. That’s what you get on CD or double vinyl; deluxe edition adds a 40-page of photos and detailed notes and ups the track total from 18 to 55 via "Blue Christmas," "Money Honey," "An American Trilogy," "Wooden Heart," "Bossa Nova Baby," "Burning Love" (rehearsal), "Good Rockin’ Tonight" and more. AND: the deluxe set adds a third disc featuring songs from the film and classics that greatly influenced the King: "Blue Moon of Kentucky," Bill Monroe, "Smokestack Lighting" Howlin’ Wolf, "Blowin’ in the Wind" Odetta, "Mystery Train" Little Junior’s Blue Flames, "Rocket 88" Jackie Brenston and more.
