A number of quality looked-over 1960s Presley tracks ended up that way. <br /><br />Besides "Don't Think Twice" (I disagree that you need all 9 minutes of the jam, although it's obvious Presley enjoyed it), he also sang a few lines of "I Shall Be Released" at a recording session, before stating, "Dylan," as if the song summed up the singer to him. I never understood that line about "Dylan slept inside my mouth," but it's clear Presley did know some Dylan songs. <br /><br />I've also read Dylan said "Tomorrow" is his favorite cover version.

Anyway he was always inspired when cutting gospel and that inspiration touched home when he cut this great song. It got buried as a bonus song on one of his movie soundtracks. He may have made a joke about Dylan live in Vegas, never thinking for one moment that it would one day end up in a live album after he passed away and the RCA vaults started to run dry. Anyway he said his throat was dry, not that his breath was bad. Its obvious he respected Dylan cause Five years later in 1971 he launched into a frantic eight and a half minute amphetamine driven spontaneous take of 'Don't think twice', with riveting guitar work from James Burton, what it lacked in the exclusion of full lyrics it was compensated in repetitive use of certain verses, similar to his arrangement of Leiber and Stollers, Houndog in 1956. An edited version was soon released but wasn't much to write home about. Luckily the full jam version appeared in the 1979 album, Our Memories of Elvis vol 2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-79006446603825928342010-02-15T13:02:01.467-08:002010-02-15T13:02:01.467-08:00I'm not sure I agree about Dylan not singing a...I'm not sure I agree about Dylan not singing about loneliness. Maybe he doesn't do so directly, but "Not Dark Yet" and "Most of the Time," for example, are incredibly lonely songs.Sean Keeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782488665479684300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-2389578236806064792010-02-15T05:57:12.383-08:002010-02-15T05:57:12.383-08:00Actually it was Odetta, not Elvis, who turned the ...Actually it was Odetta, not Elvis, who turned the song into a "crawling blues track." Odetta covered "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" before Elvis sang it. I have no idea where she picked it up from, or whether she is responsible for her distinctive arrangement of it or got it from someone else. But anyway, Elvis heard her version, and covered <em>that</em>. Play Odetta singing the song and then Elvis singing it, and you'll see that Elvis actually stuck close to her arrangement and phrasing.Robert Spencernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-7445722155748193282010-02-15T04:57:39.994-08:002010-02-15T04:57:39.994-08:00Yeah, great point about Bob mostly eschewing a sou...Yeah, great point about Bob mostly eschewing a soulful analysis of loneliness throughout his body of work. When present in his songs, it is an emotion usually residing around edges, overpowered by stronger, more easily definable feelings. [like anger on ‘Idiot Wind’] In this regard, Dylan is far less abstract, and far more accessible, than people realize. <br /><br />It’s why I love ‘I’m Not There’ so damn much. You could see that composition had immense potential to vividly explore the most desolate of states, mind spheres that other artists may have been able to reach, but not express. [Ironic isn’t it, that ‘Desolation’ Row is filled to the brim with memorable characters?] <br /><br />That ‘I’m Not There’ is still effective even without comprehensible lyrics speaks to its amazing, raw power. Alas. <br /><br />Anyway, I know this was kind of off topic, but I really agree about that point re: Dylan and loneliness.Matt Watershttp://www.myspace.com/mattwaters28noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-39093913233478869992010-02-14T20:44:29.208-08:002010-02-14T20:44:29.208-08:00tunetuneLiam Gallaghernoreply@blogger.com
