Comment:

Elvis (and his producers) sifted through masses of pop music the way old-time prospectors panned for gold — but with dramatically superior results. Sun Studios founder Sam Phillips suggested Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup’s “That’s All Right” for Presley’s debut, and while bassist Bill Black slapped the [i]clickety-clack[/i] rhythm, Elvis’ vocal oozed a honeysuckle sexuality, melding blues with a country twang, totally rewriting pop music’s rule book in two magic minutes. Presley sanded off the jagged edges of “Hound Dog,” Big Mama Thornton’s bluesy saga of a wronged woman who reams and screams at her no-count, two-timing man, reworking it as a snarling rockabilly rave-up. And Elvis’ cover of Bob Dylan’s “Tomorrow Is a Long Time” floats the tune downriver from Minnesota’s heartlands to the Mississippi Delta by swapping the original’s folky fingerpicking with a slide guitar’s lazy twang. Elvis tore down some walls and remodeled these originals — and others that we’ve put right here, at your fingertips — like a craftsman renovating a home from the foundation up.
