I found this video on U-tube recently of Elvis singing ( a totally different song than you think ) of Just Call Me Lonesome from 1967.
I know Jimmy Day played a short time in the late
'50's ( i believe ) with Elvis but this does not
sound like Jimmy Day to me but it sure sounds like most all the country steel players from the mid '60's
sounded then..Anyone know who this is & the video just shows still shots of Elvis only so it is no help other than listening to the song..
Thanks for any answers you can provide..Ron

Steel player on this song
This song is from the movie CLAMBAKE. Pete Drake is on the steel guitar. It was recorded in 1967. The album was released in 1968. Hope this helps you.
RAINS SD10 3-4, Hilton pedal, BOSS DD3 digital delay, Nashville 112, BJS 1" bar.

Thank You Donald..You know i never heard this song
until recently & it is a good song but the steel on it really caught my ear.I also never thought of Pete Drake being the one playing on it but i should have known as he was on a lot of artists albums during that time frame.Thanks Again..Ron

i want to thank Terry & Donald for their very informative posts on the question that i asked.
I knew someone on this great Steel Forum would answer
it + the additional info was great too.
Eric: I never heard Ray Price singing this song but
i am sure it would be good.In fact, i had never heard this song until about 1 week ago i stumbled on it on U-Tube while i was looking for the more modern song with the same title.I REALLY like this one -
great tune to it + i do like Elvis's singing.
Would you happen to know what album Ray did the song on as i would love to hear his take on it also.
I saw him live about a year & 1/2 ago & the man can STILL SING GREAT!! Of course he had Mr Mike Cass
right up front next to him knocking the lights out!!
Thanks Again Ron

Just Call Me Lonesome
Ron, you can find "Just Call Me Lonesome" on Ray Price's "Other Woman" cd.
A long list of singers sang this great song.
