Elvis Presley: Elvis Back In Nashville version on vinyl 2LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company RCA in cooperation with Legacy and Sony Music on 12. November 2021.

Like its predecessor, From Elvis In Nashville (released in November 2020), Elvis: Back In Nashville aims to present Elvis Presley and his core band as they sounded during the actual recordings, without orchestral overdubs or vocal accompaniment. The fundamental difference between the 1970 and 1971 Elvis recordings in Nashville is that many of the 1971 recordings feature backing vocalists, so Elvis: Back In Nashville contains a number of songs both with and without vocal accompaniment. Given that Elvis and his musicians made many great recordings during the legendary marathon of recording in 1970 that can be heard on From Elvis In Nashville, RCA and the Elvis camp decided to stick with the successful combination of a tight band, an experienced studio, well-chosen repertoire, and a relaxed, spontaneous Elvis behind the microphone and re-record as much material as possible in a short amount of time. As Elvis' upcoming touring activities increased, future studio time would be limited, so the goal of these sessions was to create new songs for perhaps a full year. RCA and the Colonel told Elvis that they wanted a new Christmas album, a gospel album, a pop album, and "a few new singles for summer and fall releases," so Elvis' music coordinator/producer Felton Jarvis booked a full week of sessions for March 15, 1971, and brought in the same band he had used the year before. Elvis Presley's return to Nashville in 1970 was revelatory. These sessions, which followed the Memphis recordings and the return to the stages, did more than encourage the return. They also introduced Elvis to a great new rhythm section and gave him a great new sound. Bassist Norbert Putnam, drummer Jerry Carrigan and pianist David Briggs helped change the rhythms of country music in the 1960s when they brought their R&B-inspired style from Studio F. A. M.E. in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to Nashville. When producer Felton Jarvis put Elvis together with the Muscle Shoals Boys, along with guitarist Chip Young, jack-of-all-trades Charlie McCoy, and Presley's bandleader James Burton, together they created the belatedly celebrated Elvis Country - providing Elvis with a country-soul template that he often followed in the last years of his life. Music critic Dave Marsh once wrote that despite his fame, "Elvis Presley was probably the most underrated singer of them all". On Elvis: Back In Nashville, you'll learn about one of the most compelling singing performances of Presley's career. CD 1: 18 tracks and features The Country/Folk Sides (an unrealized Elvis project with songs by Ewan McColl, Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Bob Dylan), The Piano Recordings (raw Elvis vocals by Ivory Joe Hunter with piano accompaniment) and The Pop Sides (classic pop songs like "Padre," "Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear To Tread," "My Way," "I'm Leavin'" and more). CD 2: 25 tracks divided between a religious section (classic and contemporary gospel) and a Christmas section (sacred and secular seasonal music). CD 3: 19 tracks and builds on the country-pop repertoire from CD 1, adding rock and roll with a number of tracks including improvised renditions of "Johnny B. Goode" and "Lady Madonna," an epic rendition of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, (It's Alright)," a breezy rendition of "Help Me Make It Through The Night," "Early Morning Rain," and more. CD 4: 20 tracks and includes The Religious Outtakes and The Christmas Outtakes.
