@cjrebelofficial I so agree. Elvis could have sung the blues, in those days. 'My Baby Left Me' is an up-tempo one again but very bluesy. He was also an incredible Gospel singer. p.s. does anyone know any other WHITE BLUES singers worth listening to? tnx
Johnnie Lee Wills, not Billy Jack, had the huge hit of "Milkcow Blues" in the mid-1940's (Billy Jack hadn't made any records under his own name at that time, yet). Bob DID record it, but his version was entitled "Brain Cloudy Blues". Confused the heck out of me the first time I heard that record as a teenager. I think of all of Elvis' recordings, this one and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" were his most innovative.
Milkcow Blues Boogie - Presley, Elvis [Tupelo, Mississippi] - 1954 - "Hold it fellows,that don't move, let's get real real gone for a change." - The King Of Rock 'N' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters [RCA Disc 1]-1992.
NOTE: This is a 5 CD Compilation of his '50's stuff, which means if you get the 60's, 70's Box sets you'll have 15 CD's.
ALSO get this CD to complete your collection with 6 more 5 star songs: Elv1s 30 #1 Hits (RCA)-2002.
@anaihilator Thanks for drawing attention to one of the terrific lines of this song as interpreted by Elvis. When he zigzags out that word "baby" it's almost like he's baying at that old lonesome moon. How'd he come up with that? The falsetto he hits later is a direct influence from Kokomo Arnold's version. Of course, Scotty Moore is giving him great support throughout.
Thank you so much. This is the best version i have ever heard of this song. I loved 50s era Elvis. He changed so much after the Army. These Sun songs move me. :-)
Hiya Rey,this is one of my absolute top favourite Elvis songs,we never got the single here,as far as I can recall and I didn't hear this until about '58 on a friends imported album,I've loved it ever since !!
Wonderful video as well Rey,some terrific images and effects,has to be a multi starred,thumbs well up fave !!
Thanks much for your great comment and for the thumbs up, the stars and fave on this one. I really love those Sun recordings. You really get the sense of the era, of what it must have been like at the beginning.
Now that was a "real, real gone" Elvis song Rey! Love those early rockabilly style Elvis songs, this one really rocked! Not sure what "milkcow blues" are but I sure wouldn't want them (lol)! Great song and video, I enjoyed this very much! Well done Rey! ... FrAnK
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment on this post. I really love these songs from his Sun recording days. They really put you right there at the birth of rock and roll. I'm happy you enjoyed this.

@bella6626 The other really good version is by Eddie Cochran. He bases his performance on Elvis, but his guitar work is amazing.
