“One Night” is a
cleaned-up cover of Smiley Lewis’ original from 1956. I posted that as record #0031 earlier in this blog.
“I Got Stung” was
recorded with Nashville session musicians, when private Presley had a two-week
leave from the army. This was the first time he had a recording session without
Scotty Moore and Bill Black.
