In 1968, Elvis Presley walked down Sunset Strip in broad daylight. No one recognized him. He was worse than dead, he was irrelevant. Changes had to be made. So Elvis staged rock's first and greatest comeback in "Elvis '68," widely known as The Comeback Special. With this show, he resurrected himself— at the age of 33, no less — from the ashes of a career mired in bad movies and soundtracks. So where to go from here? Back home, of course. Author Eric Wolfson joins us to break down "From Elvis In Memphis." The music and cultural landscape had changed, and bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys were now all the rage. But, as Wolfson tell us, The Memphis Boys and Chips Moman give the King a kick in the behind, and he delivers one of his greatest albums ever!

Tosh and Kimley are joined by author Eric Wolfson to discuss his new book ELVIS PRESLEY'S FROM ELVIS IN MEMPHIS (33 1/3). Elvis is a paradox who became the mold for all rock stars to follow. He was the King of Rock in the 50s and then the king of schlock in the 60s but made an impressive comeback with the release of this album in 1969 that reinforced his place in the rock ‘n’ roll pantheon. Going back to Memphis where he started and working at the gritty, down-to-earth American Sound Studio helped him create what is considered by many to be his best studio album.
