SteamRoller Blues -

[@Samua3]

Absolutely... levels! When Elvis started I felt a smile come in my face and I couldn't stop it! The rhythm of that version too...it just moved you right in at your core. Then he suddenly did that amazing thing where he throws his voice into an octave above and I felt tingles shoot down my legs! No one else ever does that to me!

[@johnclaba1457]

Taylor did that on purpose. He wrote the song as a parody to blues songs. Do some research before responding. Elvis took the song and drove more blues into it and sang it as a serious song.

Really enjoy your dialogue! Delivery is great! Please listen to Elvis’ Reconsider Baby from 1956. Been listening to Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Slim Harpo, Roy Hamilton. etc., since 1954. Could only get one am channel that played the blues in Gary, Ind. When Elvis “popped“ on the tv screen singing black music, it was as if, in Dylan’s words; “hearing Elvis for the first time was like busting out of jail”! After Elvis sang Baby Let’s Play House, how could an earthquake not happen? Also, give Don’t Let Go by Roy Hamilton a listen. One of my favorites. Have you heard Muddy’s I’m a man, the 5’22” version with Johnny Winter yelling in the background. That’s the song I would have loved to hear Elvis sing. Am an 83 yr. old YOUNG , white girl, as if you couldn’t tell! EAP FOREVER.

[@alameas6358]

When he started singing , he already won! You don't know who? Well, take a look at q's arm movement! 😆 P.S. Do it like E. you can't go wrong! But there is a problem, most of them can't do it like him!

[@erikraether]

Elvis' live on stage rendition of "Steamroller Blues" from March 20, 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee is so much better than Elvis' live on stage rendition from January 12, 1973 in Honolulu, Hawaii (the Elvis version of "Steamroller Blues" that was actually reviewed in this video). "Steamroller Blues" is such a fabulous, unique, fun, bluesy and funky song.

[@dcftcb7764]

It's Elvis' confidence that makes his song ( yes i said HIS song) 🔥! If E sang it it was his! MY BOY! MY BOY!! 👑

Elvis is only a hack to pricks like you because you just dont get it. Elvis had plenty of songs he was the original singer of. BTW....the hack thing......its getting old asshole.....Elvis was one of the founders of rock and roll. Hate to break it to you but he was, not matter what asshats like you say. Thing is, Elvis sang what he liked and didnt care if nothings like you called him a hack. He was a lover of music...if he liked a song, he did it and usually did it better than anyone else. This song for example, he took to another level.

[@denisesevera9490]

I guess it's really a matter of taste ( ie; what you personally like) but I prefer James Taylor's version I'm NOT swayed just becuz it's Elvis and he's way better looking lol although I definitely am an Elvis fan but it's James Taylor for me no Neil- Diamond's- too- old- to- be- singin' &- shouldn't- be award & no ya can't have my address haaa!

[@Elvis-guy1973]

The James Taylor version was just hippy nonsense played to his hippy audience. There was no sense of R&b blues or anything else. And those stupid guitar and saxophone solos were just annoying! On the other hand Elvis yet again proves why he is so great! You feel the rhythm and blues and soul and all of his influences when he performs. Taylor wrote this song but Elvis rearranged it and made it better than it ever would have been just left in his hippy hands.

[@ericbettinger6597]

James Taylor wrote this early on in his career on a lark as a spoof to all the other "white kids" who got electric guitars and amps for Christmas and tried be blues singers and were simply not very good at it. Listen to the James Taylor at the BBC where it was just him and an acoustic guitar. He makes fun of the song right down to encouraging himself to play the solo rifs and so on. Clearly this style of music was better suited for Elvis and that's OK.

Well, I give credit to James Taylor for writing this song. He was making fun of some of what he considered the "inauthentic" blues songs that groups were doing at the time. He included it on his 1970 album. But Elvis later definitely took it in 1973 and made it his own as he always does.
