It’s also telling that most of the songs on The Bluegrass Elvises date from the 1950s and ’60s. By the ’70s, the King had largely forsaken his hillbilly twang for the muscular funk, hot-foot boogie and melodramatic balladry heard on Viva Las Vegas, the soundtrack from an ABC-TV special of the same name.
