Elvis Presley, supranumit „Regele rock'n'roll-ului”, a fost un cântăreț și actor american al cărui impact asupra muzicii secolului al XX-lea este incontestabil. A îmbinat inspirația din spiritualul afro-american, blues și country, devenind cea mai importantă figură a rock and roll-ului. A vândut peste un miliard de înregistrări, iar revista Rolling Stone a inclus unsprezece dintre hiturile sale pe lista celor 500 de cele mai bune piese din toate timpurile.
Compilația Elvis Back in Nashville a apărut în 2021 la casa de discuri Legacy pe patru CD-uri și cuprinde 82 de piese. Acestea sunt înregistrări din sesiunile de studio de la Nashville de la începutul anilor '70, când Presley înregistra material mai puțin comercial, dar cu atât mai personal – de la imnuri gospel precum Amazing Grace sau He Touched Me, la balade country precum Help Me Make It Through the Night și Early Morning Rain, până la versiunea needitată de nouă minute a piesei Don't Think Twice, It's All Right. Setul oferă o perspectivă asupra procesului creator al lui Presley și căutării sale de noi direcții muzicale dincolo de rock'n'roll-ul mainstream.
