Elvis Presley - Hayride Shows Live 1955 - LP COLOURED

ARCHIVAL LIVE RECORDINGS OF THE LOUISIANA HAYRIDE BY ELVIS PRESLEY - ON LIMITED EDITION GREEN VINYL!!!

Louisiana Hayride was a radio show broadcast from the Shreveport Municipal Memorial Auditorium in Shreveport, Louisiana. During its heyday from 1948 to 1960 ‘Hayride’ helped to launch the careers of some of the greatest names in American country and western music.

Then on October 16th of 1954, Elvis Presley made his debut. Presley’s performance of his debut release, ‘That’s All Right’, brought a weak response from the country-loving audience, but Presley was signed to a one-year contract for more appearances.

Elvis worked the Hayride audience week by week until he finally won them over, but there was to be a catch... the demand for more of Presley’s new kind of rockabilly music resulted in a sharp decline in the popularity of the Hayride, a strictly country music venue.

Times were changing... These recordings capture the formative years of The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll and feature many of his soon-to-be classic numbers.
