Rolling Stone Country Top 10

Rolling Stone magazine listed Elvis' 10 best country songs. While Elvis Presley’s musical output was defined more by rock & roll in the Fifties and Sixties, and, later, by easy listening ballads and orchestral anthems, the vocalist maintained a strong affinity for country music throughout his career. The Seventies especially found Presley diving wholeheartedly into country recordings: his final Number One single would be on the country charts, with 1977’s “Moody Blue.” These are the seemingly immortal vocalist’s best country moments.

  • 'Blue Moon of Kentucky' (1954)
  • 'She Thinks I Still Care' (1977)
  • 'I Forgot to Remember to Forget' (1955)
  • 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' (1973)
  • 'Gentle on My Mind' (1969)
  • 'You Asked Me To' (1975)
  • 'Kentucky Rain' (1970)
  • 'Help Me Make It Through the Night' (1972)
  • 'Green, Green Grass of Home' (1975)
  • 'Make the World Go Away' (1971)
