You really cant compare the two. Elvis is an Icon and he must have loved this song because he played it in lots of shows. TJW i am assuming was the original singer of Polk Salad Annie but Im not certain. Elvis and TJW have completely different styles, even though they sing the song the same way. Elvis has that rock, disco mix when he sings it. TJW has more of a bluesy sound when he plays it. Both are AMAZING with this song.
@1988WHISKY NO- Elvis can't play this good in a wet dream. Tony Joe only had a couple of hits but the brother could sing and play. Sorry,I like Elvis too but No. TJW is a rare Southern boy like Jerry Reed that could pick and sing. For every 1 person on your side I'm sure there is 10 on mine- They both can sing it but to write,sing and play is a special thing a nd you best be southern to pull this off! Chomp Chomp!!

@bobmon54 Heh. Well I'm English born & bred but even I can hear that TJW touched the Southern thing in a way that Elvis never did.
As it happens I think Hank Williams (the original Hank) did too..;)
