I think you have to break Elvis's work into two Eras, Pre - 1968 and post 1968. Elvis evokes such imagery of the entire song's story from the weather to the old man , the preacher, and the tows. The music is almost sub lineal and simple but it plays a powerful feeling in the song. Talk about the greatest comeback in music, from Jail house Rock to Kentucky Rain wow! Believe it or not Number 2 form and for personal reasons is If I Can Dream. Thanks Elvis we miss yo but to paraphrase one of your lyrics "You are always on our minds."
