Bluegrass Breakdown: Elvisgrass, part four

We’ll be finishing up our four-part look at one of pop culture’s most remarkable figures—a singer, actor, genre-pioneer, and sex symbol who has sold over a billion records, snagging 19 number one hits, placing 40 in the top ten and another 114 in the top 40. Thanks to the likes of Holly Norman, Craig Korth, Brand New Strings, and the Osborne Brothers, we’ll be putting the bluegrass to the once and forever undisputed King of Rock ‘n Roll—Elvis Presley!
