Description
Before the gold records, before the movie screens, before the legend was carved in stone, Elvis Presley was a young man with a guitar and a voice that could stop time. Live Icons gathers those electrifying moments when Elvis's music leapt from the radio to living rooms across America and set hearts--and history--on fire.
From the breathless rockabilly spark of "That's All Right" to the tender ache of "Love Me Tender," these radio performances capture the thrill of discovery: the sound of a cultural revolution as it happened. These live radio broadcasts are curated to show the King at his most spontaneous and unguarded.
That unmistakable voice bending country, blues, and gospel into something the world had never known, these broadcasts preserve the youthful energy that would soon conquer the globe. For long-time fans, this collection is a journey back to the days when a teenager from Tupelo was rewriting the rules of popular music. For new listeners, it's an invitation to experience the birth of rock 'n' roll exactly as the first fans did: live, immediate, and utterly unforgettable.
