Elvis Presley # '68 Trouble & Guitar man

HIGH QUALITY (real video format). Trouble (mix extended version) & Guitar man (short version) # Comeback Special (1968). Trouble is a song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Elvis performed the song in the 1958 motion picture King Creole, and his recording was included on the soundtrack of the same name. Trouble, featuring Scotty Moore on guitar, was one of only three songs written by Leiber and Stoller for the feature. Elvis's performance in the film alludes to Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. "If you're looking for trouble," he intones, "then look right in my face. Because I'm evil. My middle name is Misery." Music critic Maury Dean suggests that Trouble, with Elvis's growling snarl, is one of the earliest proto-punk rock songs. Ten years later, Elvis opened his 1968 Comeback Special with this number. With dark, moody lighting highlighting his sneer, the sequence alluded to Elvis's checkered past and dangerous image and served to prove that the singer was still sexy, surly and downright provocative. The piece then segued into Guitar Man against a Jailhouse Rock backdrop featuring male dancers in cells. Elvis performed Trouble and Guitar Man together in the opening sequence of the NBC 1968 Special on December 3, 1968. The instrumental track of these songs were recorded June 20 or 21, 1968 at Western Recorders in Hollywood. Elvis's vocal was recorded on June 29 and June 30, 1968. Trouble's original title was I'm Evil. Guitar Man was written by Jerry Reed Hubbard and had been released by Elvis in January 1968 as a single.

LYRICS Trouble:

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

I've never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man
I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it on alone
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
So don't mess around don't mess around don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil
So don't mess around, don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil
So don't mess around with me
Yeah!

(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)

LYRICS Guitar man:

Well, I quit my job down at the car wash,
Left my mama a goodbye note,
By sundown I'd left Kingston,
With my guitar under my coat,
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis,
Got a room at the YMCA,
For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights,
Just lookin' for a place to play,
Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire,
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man.

Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis,
I run outta money and luck,
So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia,
On a overloaded poultry truck,
I thumbed on down to Panama City,
Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars,
Hopin' I could make myself a dollar,
Makin' music on my guitar,
I got the same old story at them all night piers,
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man
We don't need a guitar man, son

So I slept in the hobo jungles,
Roamed a thousand miles off track,
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama,
At a club they call Big Jack's,
A little four-piece band was jammin',
So I took my guitar and I sat in,
I showed 'em what a band would sound like,
With a swingin' little guitar man.
Show 'em, son

If you ever take a trip down to the ocean,
Find yourself down around Mobile,
Make it on out to a club called Jack's,
If you got a little time to kill,
Just follow that crowd of people,
You'll wind up out on his dance floor,
Diggin' the finest little five-piece group,
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico,
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band,
Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man.

The TV-special verse:

Well, I came a long way from the carwash,
Got to where I said I'd get
Now that I'm here I know for sure
I really ain't got there yet
Think I'll start all over
Swing my guitar over my back
I'm gonna get myself back on the track
I'll never, never ever look back
I'll never be more than what I am
Wouldn't you know
I' m a swinging little Guitar man

(Words & music by Jerry Reed Hubbard)
