Ohhh maaannn... I actually like this one! Ah, well. Respect your opinion, Seph 😊 But yes. There seems to be a re- enforced theme in this album with songs like "Only The Strong Survive"; "You're Wearin' That Loved On Look"; "You'll Think Of Me"; "Inherit The Wind"; "I'm Movin' On"; and another I am thinking of but will not mention since you have not reacted to it yet, Seph. Even with the song "Don't Cry Daddy" the subtle underlying message seems to be that one can't hold stay stuck in their grief because the father has two kids that need him now more than ever so he has no choice but to keep living, to find a way to move past his grief. Now that you made mention of it, Seph I do think that there is an overall underlying theme to this whole album. Wow! Great observation! Anyhoodles, speaking of moving on... How about some info? I am sure you have not done near enough reading this week so far Seph 😉 Recording Session Info first: "I'm Movin' On" Recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee on January 14, 1969 between the hours of 10:00 p.m - 1:00 a.m. Producers: Felton Jarvis/ Chip Moman Engineers: Al Pachucki/ Roy Shockley Musicians: Guitar: Elvis Presley Guitar: Reggie Young Sitar: Reggie Young ("You'll Think Of Me"; "Gentle On My Mind"; I'm Movin' On") Drums: Gene Chrisman Organ: Bobby Emmons Bass: Tommy Cogbill Bass: Mike Leech Piano: Bobby Wood Take 1: False Start 0:52 "Rolling, take one" (Followed by rehearsal) Take 2: (Master) 2:59 Unrepaired Master Overdub (Master) Backup vocals on January 19, 1969 (morning) Overdub (Master) 3:03 Band & brass Overdubs on January 19, 1969 Vocal Overdub (Master) 2:57 Vocals replaced on January 22, 1969 Composite (Draft) 2:50 Unused composite of replaced & original vocals.

Released in 1950, "I'm Moving On" transformed Snow's career, and afterwards he became one of country's legendary artists. The song spent 21 weeks - more than a third of a year - as the #1 country song in the land. It spawned dozens of covers, including Top 20 hits for Ray Charles, Don Gibson and Emmylou Harris and notable versions by the Rolling Stones, the Everly Brothers and Rosanne Cash. Born in Nova Scotia, Clarence Eugene Snow would become easily the most successful country star to emerge from Canada until Shania Twain's emergence in the 1990s. His triumphs did not come easily, though. He was raised in poverty and abused by a stepfather who he later wrote treated him "like a dog." The only joys of his childhood came through music. He learned to play on a mail-order guitar that his mother had purchased for her own enjoyment, and he fell under the musical spell of the man who would become his chief influence, Jimmie Rodgers. Snow escaped his immediate environment as a teenager by taking work on a fishing boat, where he entertained his shipmates with songs. Back ashore, he sang on radio stations, billed as Hank the Yodeling Ranger, and made his first recordings in 1936 for a Canadian arm of RCA Victor. He had several hit records in Canada, but they were not hits in America. He yearned to find a U.S. audience, and Grand Ole Opry star Ernest Tubb helped him to land a spot on the Grand Ole Opry in 1950. His first U.S. single, "Marriage Vow," reached the country Top 10, but it was the second single - "I'm Moving On" - that brought him to popular attention. From the beginning of his American career in 1949 through 1974, every one of Snow's singles reached the Top 40 of Billboard's country chart. His recording career with RCA lasted an astonishing 45 years from 1936 to 1981. He was a sonorous singer, a highly skilled lead guitarist and a nuanced interpreter of others' songs, but his career was constructed with the guitar and writing utensil with which he composed "I'm Moving On." And that is it Seph & Seph's Dad & everyone! BRILLIANT REACTION 💎💙💎💙💎💙💎💙💎💙👌 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 OUT OF 5! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS SEPH!

@cherylspencer8024 One of my favorite actors is James Garner (my favorite movie of his "Support Your Local Sheriff"- hilarious underrated classic in my humble opinion). He had a horrible stepmother. He was not just abused by her but also by I think one or two of his stepbrothers. I can't remember if his Dad d*ed or not but I do remember it was bad enough that James Garner left home when he was still in his teens. Anne Miller another one of my favorites also came from an abusive home. Her father was a real piece of work. He not only abused her but also her mother who was a legally blind woman. So at 15 years old Anne Miller took her mother and ran away from home. She lied about her age so she could work. They ran off from Texas to San Francisco but made their L.A. where a 16 year old Anne got her break in a bit part in a movie. Later she ended up marrying a man that also turned out to be abusive. He caused her to have a miscarriage which resulted in her never being able to have children. I used to watch her later interviews and you know she came off as so happy and so humble. I was in awe of her as a kid. Thanks again Miss Cheryle 💖😊
Brilliant yet again Sammy 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This album in particular is full of songs with that "Going away coming back theme" infact not just this album but most of 1969 😂 i wonder what elvis was thinking during this year haha
@@SephPlays Oh we could do A whole deep dive into that rabbit hole of ponderings 😀 I DO have my own humble opinion on that whole thing but it's a lot and I don't have the time currently to type it all out haha!
I really like this song!! Its been covered many times, but Elvis's version is the best. He makes it sound more country & the energy of the band & backup singers really pack a punch. We have been listening to some great songs lately, but this also sits nicely on the album & I would never skip it.
This song should have been another Elvis Smash Hit, but it just yet another Album stuffer song! Elvis had so many of them! They need to be released out on the charts now! Super! Thanks Seth Plays!
I've always loved this one. And honestly, one of the few Elvis albums that is LOADED start to finish. Zero filler on this and an all-time classic album.
#NOSTALGIC For Me* My Daddy Loved Country Music - He Sang and Played His 1963 Fender ( Sunburst ) Jazzmaster And Sang His Heart Out!!!! To Elvis & All The Country Legends, This Is Hank Snow's Song and The Spin Elvis Put ON THIS IS GENIUS!!!!! ELVIS AND HANK SNOW DID THE LOUISIANA HAYRIDE BACK IN THE DAY!! 40 MINUTES FROM MY HOMETOWN - Anyway, I Love Old Country Music - I was raised on it!! Thanks *SEPH* YOU ROCK DARLING!!!!
Ah Seph - I love this song - such a nice country vibe and easy to listen to - the vocals on this track were Mary (Jeannie) Green, Donna Thatcher, Susan Pilkington, Mary Holladay, Dolores Edgin, June Page, Hurshel Wiginton, Joe Babcock, Ginger Holladay, Millie Kirkham, Sandy Posey.
We know how Elvis liked to do jams and rehearsals and this may well be his statement to that. They could have easily do this differently if they wanted but they didn't. It is like saying that this is what we do between Hits.❤❤❤
This was an okay song lifted to new heights by Elvis's rendition featured on this Album and again to newer heights in 1980 when the entire backing was recreated for the "Guitar Man" Album with Jerry Reed providing an incredible hard rock country lead guitar in support. Well worth a listen.
I used to think this song was a toss away and would skip over it but with this listen and your review, my opinion changed. I took you analysis and watched you enjoying the song so much and your positive opinions and now, thanks to you I enjoy the song. A banger, no, but you can't win them all. Thanks again for your passion for The Elvis .
I like this one, but I also like country music, especially when Elvis puts his spin on it. Country doesn't seem to be your jam, but that's okay; I'm not mad about it, still onboard for your Elvis journey. 🤣
Hi Seph! So sorry that I too disagree with you regarding “Moving On”. I love its whimsy. It makes me picture him picking up his duffle bag, slinging it over his shoulder and heading away from a troubling situation. I do agree that the album as a whole lends itself to this notion. When we examine what we think we know about his life at this time, it fits. He had finally satisfied the movie contracts and experienced a successful 68 special. Both he and Priscilla must have known at this time that their marriage was doomed. What then was he to do then, with the rest of his life? For us, its history, but for Elvis, the next step in this part of his life was unknown therefore he could only move on. As always Seph, an enjoyable reaction that always calls upon us to listen with a more finely tuned ear. Thank you once again Sammy, for your constant stream of Elvis information. You and Seph make a great team. Love to all!❤️
@taylorkingston9197 I agree with you on its whimsy. Plus for me the song is relatable. There were times in my life when I had to move on, maybe not in the geographical sense but definitely in the metaphorical sense. Elvis's interpretation for me is a guy who has not realized that it's time to move on but that he is more than okay with moving on and is ready to take on the unknown of the future instead of being afraid of it. It's not just upbeat, it's uplifting. My humble two cents only 😉 You are so kind 💖 Thank you so much! 🎶Have A Happy🎶 Thursday & TCB ⚡ & Rock on 🎶🎸🎶😎💙👍
Not meh to me, it's groovy it's funky. Another roaming roustabout song. Hank Snow had a hit with this song, Elvis and Hank shared the same stage in the Louisiana Hayride era. Unfortunately no live version.
@@jimmykarlsson2567 Yes but not meh and that is the criticism of the reaction.. Curiously Seph rated 'One Track Heart' a banger and one of his all time favourites, a song never close to getting on my playlists.
This is true, one track heart is still my favourite Elvis song "So far" and its going to take something absolutely crazy good to beat it in my eyes. And theres actually a few others that have since went wayyyyyy up into my favourite list too. I think i might have to bring back my Elvis list in the near future haha
This is an old country bluegrass song by the great country icon Hank Snow from the late 40s. Snow was a business partner with Col Tom Parker for a time.....until Snow got totally screwed out of his part in the career of Elvis by Parker. The song was a big big hit for Snow-Elvis' version is much better IMO than the Snow original but with Elvis you hear the blues influence that Snows lacked.
Great one Seph. I hope when you have finished this album, you could do a couple surprising,, no shocking, songs he did like "The Lords Prayer" Impromptu session. and he also does, "I'm still here", and "America the Beautiful", all in rehearsal footage. thanks for this album, one that's unforgettable. He did a lot of cool stuff in rehearsal, and he is so funny.
I reckon 90% of the comments here will totally disagree with you Seph, as this a great song echoing his rock / country roots. What I observe is that many Elvis root-rock songs in essence do not ring your bell e.g. Memphis Tennessee, Down in The Alley, where excitement and not words are the attraction to many fans.
I would never have connected Memphis Tennessee, Down in the Alley and I'm Movin' On but now that you've mentioned it I can totally hear it. Do you have more suggestions in a similar vein? I love putting Elvis' songs in new contexts, it makes them fresh again after listening to them for so many years.
It's been interesting reading the comments here actually. A lot of love for this song going around! Personally don't completely understand it, but thats the beauty of music 🎧🎶😍
@@KeepMovingOn Not sure how much you know about him and I have tried latin tinged playlists albums (Surrender, It's Now or Never, Marguerita, Spanish Eyes etc) as an example but my favourites for working out are 18 track Cd's of all genre about 48 minutes in length. They have in a specific order 5 tracks from the 1950's , 7 from 1960 -1968, and 6 from 1969 - 1977. Never 2 slow songs in a row. Always start with a 1950's rockin' track like I Got Stung and finish in the 1970's with a strong closing track e.g. Johnny B Goode.
Here's a link that contains the alternate takes of this song. He suffered from laryngitis during this recording session, which is also detailed in the link. Fascinating stuff for Elvis fans... boring isn't a word I'd use with anything Elvis did during these sessions. ua-cam.com/video/QeEamFq9AVs/v-deo.html
A Hank Snow song. It's good IMHO. You should listen to Hank Snow's version. Hank Snow has a very distinctive voice and you might enjoy. He's pure country/western. This one is a toss-up for me which singer I like best and that's a rarity for me. I almost always like Elvis best. I grew up listening to Hank sing this. OK, you got me I do prefer Elvis' version, but Hank ain't nothing to sneeze at.
@@SephPlays Let us know what you think. Did you know that Elvis and Hank were good friends. Elvis used to go to Hanks house, sit down and sing and play piano to Hank Snow songs? History there with Parker who did a Hank Williams show. He found Elvis and put him into the show. Hank's son Jimmy told the story. He was also friends with Elvis. The Elvis move got the relationship wrong. That movie took license with a few things.
@@SephPlays Reply #2. Hank does a song called I've Been Everywhere. It has Australian roots, picked up in Great Britain, and then the US. It is a song with extreme vocal gymnastics.
Listen to The Box Tops rendition of "I'm moving on" from 1968 which Elvis and his band used as a basis for their arrangement. "I'm Moving On" - The Box Tops link ua-cam.com/video/S3QcN5r3qwE/v-deo.html
Elvis’ version of Hank Snow’s song is kind of “mild” and over produced, compared to his. Elvis opened shows for Hank Snow. when Col. Parker worked with, and did promotion with Hank Snow. Hank’s son Jimmie was very good friends with Elvis. It seems to surprise a lot of people to find out Hank Snow is Canadian. He had a lot of hits.
Ohhh maaannn... I actually like this one!
Ah, well. Respect your opinion, Seph 😊
But yes. There seems to be a re- enforced theme in this album with songs like "Only The Strong Survive"; "You're Wearin' That Loved On Look"; "You'll Think Of Me"; "Inherit The Wind"; "I'm Movin' On"; and another I am thinking of but will not mention since you have not reacted to it yet, Seph.
Even with the song "Don't Cry Daddy" the subtle underlying message seems to be that one can't hold stay stuck in their grief because the father has two kids that need him now more than ever so he has no choice but to keep living, to find a way to move past his grief.
Now that you made mention of it, Seph I do think that there is an overall underlying theme to this whole album.
Wow! Great observation!

I’ve always loved this song! Very groovy! The band was fantastic, as always! It’s more than ok Seph!
Keep moving on not boring for me foot tapping so good
This is a country music song made famous by Hank Snow. Elvis speeds it up and makes it his.
Love Elvis country.... it's his original flavor and is usually ignored. Great song 💯⚡❤️
Seph I saw you rocking out, swaying back and forth and smiling, you can't hide your enjoyment of this one 😜

Thank Seth🇳🇴
It's a high caliber album when this is the meh song. This is from the From Elvis in Memphis album. Inherit the Wind is from Back in Memphis.
that whole album is high caliber including this song, while Back in Memphis is a little behind this one.
Not one of my favorites off the album so I agree maybe not boring but not exciting either. It’s on the lower end for me but I love Elvis either way.

A Hank Snow song. It's good IMHO. You should listen to Hank Snow's version. Hank Snow has a very distinctive voice and you might enjoy. He's pure country/western. This one is a toss-up for me which singer I like best and that's a rarity for me. I almost always like Elvis best. I grew up listening to Hank sing this. OK, you got me I do prefer Elvis' version, but Hank ain't nothing to sneeze at.
I'll give him a listen ^^
@@SephPlays Let us know what you think. Did you know that Elvis and Hank were good friends. Elvis used to go to Hanks house, sit down and sing and play piano to Hank Snow songs? History there with Parker who did a Hank Williams show. He found Elvis and put him into the show. Hank's son Jimmy told the story. He was also friends with Elvis. The Elvis move got the relationship wrong. That movie took license with a few things.
@@SephPlays Reply #2. Hank does a song called I've Been Everywhere. It has Australian roots, picked up in Great Britain, and then the US. It is a song with extreme vocal gymnastics.
They are NOT The Sweet Inspirations, Elvis' female backing group from 1969-77.
You think the song was meh? Are you kidding? Ok its yr opinion but for me it's a fantastic c & w style song. I really love it.
I don't know why but this song always reminds me of the show dukes of hazard. 🤔
Listen to The Box Tops rendition of "I'm moving on" from 1968 which Elvis and his band used as a basis for their arrangement. "I'm Moving On" - The Box Tops link ua-cam.com/video/S3QcN5r3qwE/v-deo.html
Elvis’ version of Hank Snow’s song is kind of “mild” and over produced, compared to his. Elvis opened shows for Hank Snow. when Col. Parker worked with, and did promotion with Hank Snow. Hank’s son Jimmie was very good friends with Elvis. It seems to surprise a lot of people to find out Hank Snow is Canadian. He had a lot of hits.
Women are Southern Comfort
Seph--I think it's good(not great)...I just think Country songs aren't in your wheelhouse.
Seriously, you are hooked on Inherit the Wind and this is boring 😂 have to disagree, but appreciate your honesty
You will not find a better song about a train.
How about "Freight Train", "Wabash Cannonball", "Ghost Train", etc.?
@@jjbud3124 nope.
Awww! I love all 4 of those just about equally.
@@jjbud3124 I do love Wabash cannonball.
Mystery Train is my fave.
Smellvis is the World's 2nd most overated singer after Frank Sinatra
We will all sleep a lot better after that interesting comment 😊😊
It's not the best on the album but it's still very good
Love this song.
