July 11th in Elvis History

It’s July eleventh, and on this day in 1954… Elvis Presley, along with Scotty Moore and Bill Black, recorded the iconic song “Mystery Train” at Sun Records. This session followed closely on the heels of his breakthrough recordings and helped further establish the raw, electrifying sound that would soon captivate the nation. Just the night before, DJs Uncle Richard on KWEM and Dewey Phillips on WHBQ gave “Blue Moon of Kentucky” and “That’s All Right” their first airplay, sparking the buzz that would launch Elvis’s legendary career.
