It was the first session that did not include guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, who had both worked with Elvis since his first recordings for Sam Phillips at the Memphis Recording Service, which later became known as Sun Studios.
Recorded at Sam Phillips' Sun Studios and completed at American Sound Studios, the album was documented by Dick Clark Productions, which filmed it from start to finish; by The Commercial Appeal, the Mid-South's largest circulation newspaper; and by Nine-O-One Network Magazine, the first edition of which was sold with the album in a telemarketing package.
It is a compilation of tracks from four different recording sessions, including recordings at Electrical Audio in Chicago, engineered by Steve Albini, Sound of Music Studio in Richmond, Virginia, produced by David Lowery, and Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, engineered by James Lott.
Much of his songwriting was influenced by a “1950’s Memphis & Rock ‘N’ Roll” phase (Bill Haley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Sun Studios-era Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis) combined with a passion for Klaxons, CSS and a love for French House music and early Source Records.
Live from the Legendary Sun Studios is a live album by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
