When I listen to this, I understand why people love Elvis so much, but pretty much nothing else he did does anything for me.

His voice was vocal honey.

This was really good! Maybe I just need to listen to more comeback-era Elvis and less rock and roll Elvis. What are absolute must-listens?

CAUGHT IN A TRAP
I CAN'T WALK OUT
Probably my favorite song of his (the 7-minute live version anyway, never listened to the single I don't think)...but he's got plenty of other fantastic stuff, the trouble is just that you gotta dig a bit, not that any of his great stuff is unpopular, it's just a lot of his shit stuff is just as popular
how good is that from elvis in memphis album
rym says it's good, but it also says dusty in memphis was good, and i didn't like that at all

It's on par with the Dusty album, probably not worth your time if you didn't like Dusty
The Rolling Stones - Sister Morphine:

I know it was a co-written song with another artist, but it is provides a strong melancholy feeling
to me with vivid imagery.
Is this an /Elvish general/? lol.

True patricians know that late period Elvis is best Elvis
Here's a good Dylan cover from 66

Personal favorite that Nick Cave inexplicably never got around to covering

If anything he's the prime example of "digging through the trash to find the treasure", mostly because of how he was managed. Colonel Tom Parker got his hands on Elvis when he was just starting out, and thus began a 20 year reign of buying up every song from every struggling songwriter on the cheap and screwing them out of roylaties or even songwritting credits.
Had Elvis had proper management and an actual songwriting team behind him you could imagine just how consistent he could really be. He's already considered one of the greatest fucking entertainers of all time, so now imagine how he would have been remembered if 95% of his catalog wasn't just filler
