Elvis Presley returned from the army with a fever that produced this bluesy pop thrill. During his two years with the 3rd Armored Division in Friedberg, Germany; RCA staggered the release of material he had recorded already. As his enlistment was coming to a close, Presley began playing around with new sounds in preparation for his return to the studio. He was released on March 2, 1960; and the first sessions took place on March 20 into 21 and on April 3 into 4. He recorded with his original band The Blue Moon Boys, although bassist Bill Black decided to stick with The Bill Black Combo.
The studio B control room at RCA studio in Nashville, Tennesee had a state of the art 3-track recorder and was crowded with RCA Executives Steve Sholes and Bill Bullock, as well as Colonel Tom Parker, his assistant Tom Diskin, A&R head Chet Atkins, Freddy Bienstock from the publishing company Hill and Range, and engineer Bill Porter. 'Elvis Is Back!' features Elvis Presley on vocals and acoustic guitar; with Scotty Moore on electric guitar; Hank Garland on electric guitar and electric bass; Floyd Cramer on piano; Bob Moore on double bass; D. J. Fontana and Buddy Harman on drums; with The Jordanaires on backing vocals and Boots Randolph on saxophone. Charlie Hodge also sang backing vocals on "I Will Be Home Again". 'Elvis Is Back!' went to number two in the US and number one in the UK. It was his first album released in stereo.
