Jambalaya (On The Bayou) recorded by Elvis on Saturday, June 7, 1975 
Written by: Williams
Originally recorded by Hank Williams (?) in 1952
Hear Elvis's version on: A Profile CD 3: Lake Charles 4/5/75 
(unofficial release)
A question mark on this Hank Williams original. Surely everyone knows 
that Jambalaya and Hank are inseparable, with his studio recording 
dating from 13 June, 1952. Maybe so, at least with that title, but 
Jambalaya is based on a slightly earlier number by Julius Lamperez, 
recording under the name Papa Cairo And His Boys, in 1949. The original 
title was "Big Texas", so perhaps "Jambalaya (On The Oilfield)" would 
have been more appropriate.

Men With Broken Hearts recorded by Elvis on Tuesday, August 11, 1970 
Written by: Williams
Originally recorded by Hank Williams (as Luke The Drifter) in 1950
Hear Elvis's version on: The Essential 70's Masters (5); Live In Las 
Vegas (2)
Relatively hard-to-find "spoken-word poem" by the great Hank Williams, 
which he recorded on 21 December 1952. Williams himself counted it 
among his favorite songs, and Elvis occasionally recited parts of it 
during his concert performances in the late 1960s and 1970s. It's 
been covered by just a handful of artists.

one line of "Take These Chains From My Heart" at a Las vegas concert on

number was released shortly after, having been recorded on 
23 September, 1952. Elvis was not pleased with his own recording and 
it was not released for seven years.
