May 25th in Elvis History

It's May 25th, and on this day in 1966… Elvis Presley boarded a rented Greyhound bus to head to Nashville, where a major turning point in his recording career began. At RCA’s Studio B, he met his new producer, Felton Jarvis, whose temperament proved to be a better match for Elvis than his predecessor. That night marked the first time in more than two years that Elvis recorded non-soundtrack material. From 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., he worked on what would become the *How Great Thou Art* album and laid down his haunting rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Tomorrow Is a Long Time.” It was a night of creative renewal and a signal that Elvis was ready to return to more meaningful musical roots.
