VIA PRESS RELEASE | This spring, the three-hour, two-part documentary Elvis Presley: The Searcher will peel back the legend of The King of Rock and Roll to focus on Elvis’ evolution as a musician and a man. The Thom Zimny-directed feature uses rare footage and new interviews with those who knew Elvis best to share the stories behind the songs that made him famous.
The soundtrack to Elvis Presley: The Searcher showcases Elvis’ most enduring hits, powerful performances and rare alternate takes, from his early blues and country-influenced recordings to his final 1976 recording sessions at the Jungle Room in Graceland. The soundtrack will be available on April 6 as an 18-track overview on CD or 2LP. A 3CD deluxe version adds 37 additional Elvis cuts, original score compositions by Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, plus songs that inspired Elvis, from R&B and country classics to his mother Gladys Presley singing at home.
This soundtrack features 18 songs as heard in the film including familiar hit recordings (“Heartbreak Hotel,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”), powerful vocal performances (“That’s All Right,” “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” “Trouble/Guitar Man”) and rare outtakes (“Suspicious Minds,” “Separate Ways”).
