Little Sister

Can't Help Falling in Love With You.

Interesting tidbit - that rockin' geetar line on Little Sister was probably played, not by Scotty Moore, but rather by Hank Garland - the "land" in the "Byrdland" guitar (Billy Byrd contributed the the "Byrd" part). He would have played it on an L5 though.

Our guitar/singer seems to know just about all the Elvis songs ...always in the rep for rotation:

...anything from Sun Label ...but also

That's Alright Mama
Blue Moon
All Shook Up
Tryin to Get To You
Sit Right Down and Cry
Money Honey
Miss Clawdy
Can't Help Falling In Love
Forgot to Remember to Forget
Jailhouse Rock
Shake Rattle & Roll
Don't Be Cruel
Suspicious Minds (always killer live)
Mystery Train
Heartbreak Hotel
Blue Suede Shoes
Love Me Tender
Little Less Conversation
In the Ghetto
Hound Dog
Good Rockin' Tonight
Any Way You Want
Ready Teddy
Rip It Up
Long Tall Sally

On some of those, we toggle between Elvis' version and the original (Crudup, Little Richard, Perkins, Joe Turner, Fats Domino, etc) ... depends on the crowd and the venue. Probably others that we have faked along the way.

All I know are the piano or sax parts, or reasonable fascimiles thereof. We make up arrangements as we go \:\) Our drummer does a mean Ronnie Tutt - one of my favorite drummers.

Back when I played with the CrawlDaddy's we played Little sister, Latest Flame, Rip It Up (but we did more the Johnny Burnett version) and -- my favorite because of its bass line -- Burnin Love.

Well in the GB band we did or knew most of it. Although I'm not a huge Elvis fan I did enjoy doing some of his tunas.

Looking at some old set lists as memory fails me
Jailhouse Rock
Little Sister
All Shook Up
Can't Help Falling In Love
Don't Be Cruel
Blue Suede Shoes
Love Me Tender
Hound Dog

Probably some more...

None now. Used to do Little Sister, Blue Suede Shoes, Caught in a Trap, Jailhouse Rock maybe one or two more (don't remember). One time we played a party at a Local TV station and we learned about 15 Elvis tunes (it was a theme party) for that.

In that old band we went back and learned a lot of Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Animals and some other stuff that might stay in our set list for 2 or 3 gigs. If a tune did not keep the dance floor packed or people havin a blast ... we would move on to something else.

That was good training in learning songs and also in getting more familiar with other folks guys write and play.

Having been through all of that ... I still sound like me and right now I'm kinda tired of it.

Here is a band I recorded who is an Elvis Show band. It is a really exciting live show. They are adding a Johnny Cash set and just came in and recorded eight JC songs.

"One Night With You" is a staple at the Barto Jam....

When Rockabilly Roy is there, we often do "That's Alright Mama" and "Little Sister".

I had to do Blue Hawaii at a wedding once and I ended up liking that song. It's fun to really ham it up. It's the firs one I learned on Xaphoon, too.

Other than the The Failanes played most of the above listed Elvi.
