Hot Night In Memphis

"I had this idea for writing a song about Elvis Presley's first recording session and how Elvis, Scotty Moore (guitar) and Bill Black (bass) changed music and our culture forever. It was basically the story of the birth of Rock & Roll, a period now known as Rockabilly. I was trying to figure out what to write for the This Is My America project when I got an email from Douglas Hutton saying they needed a song about Elvis. I pulled out the lyrics that I had and finished the song and sent it to Douglas. He thought it would be perfect for the project. So thanks to Douglas, the song will now be heard." (Jim Weatherly)
