Good Rockin’ Tonight: Soundtrack to New Elvis Documentary Announced

February 7, 2018 By Joe Marchese 3 Comments

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

A new Elvis Presley documentary is heading to television screens this April, and an accompanying soundtrack album will arrive in a variety of formats that same month from Legacy Recordings and RCA Records.  Elvis Presley: The Searcher, directed by Emmy and Grammy winner Thom Zimny and written by author/journalist Alan Light, traces the artistic evolution of the artist from his R&B and country beginnings through his final Jungle Room recording sessions at Graceland.  The three-hour, two-part movie will premiere on April 14 on HBO, but before that, The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) hits stores on April 6.

The Searcher will be available in various formats: an 18-track soundtrack CD, a 2-LP gatefold 12-inch vinyl edition, and a 3-CD collectible deluxe box set.  The standard CD offers familiar Presley hits in new context, along with rare and alternate versions.  The deluxe 3-CD set adds another 37 Elvis songs, plus a disc featuring selections from the original score composed by Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, the late Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ cover of “Wooden Heart,” and music that inspired Elvis (including his mother Gladys singing “Home Sweet Home”).  This edition includes a 40-page hardcover book with rare photos, liner notes by music historian and Petty biographer Warren Zanes, and a note from director Zimny.  Petty appears in the documentary, as does Bruce Springsteen, a frequent Zimny collaborator.

The director confirms in his notes that “the soundtrack was in my mind from the beginning. I wasn’t just making a film, I was thinking about the collection of recordings I would gather for a person who saw the film, who wanted to complete the experience, just as I always had. Thankfully, our friends at Sony gave me and the Searcher team the chance to create this collection. It’s been in my mind for years now. To me, this collection is part of the film.”  Warren Zanes offers, “So, in this collection, one gets not a Greatest Hits package but a song-by-song, curated portrait of an artist…who very consistently and courageously gave himself to his performances, as if in the giving he might find some missing part of himself. The truth in his voice, in the end, was the sound of a searcher. Along the way, he built a catalogue as deep as any found in the broad and beautiful vistas of American music.”

Priscilla Presley, Stax Records legend David Porter, director Zimny, producer Jon Landau, and moderator John Jackson (SVP A&R, Sony Music) will discuss the film and its remarkable subject at the 2018 SXSW Festival in March.  The Searcher (Original Soundtrack) is due on April 6 from RCA/Legacy in various formats at the links below, and the documentary airs a little over a week later, April 14, on HBO.  Check it out below!

    http://www.elvisthemusic.com seems to list an additional track on Disc 3. It is track 14 “Lawdy, Miss Clawdy” by Lloyd Price.

    Coincidently, I am now in the middle of reading Peter Guralnick’s book “The Rise Of Elvis Presley: Last Train To Memphis” which covers Elvis’s life from his birth until the Army. In it, it talks about a lot of the R and B, country, and gospel acts that influenced him, or performed alongside him. Looking forward to this doc.
