The description:
The
Louisiana Hayride was a radio show that gave fresh talent a chance to perfect
their distinct performance styles before a weekly live audience. During its
heyday, between 1948-1958 "the hayride" rivaled even Nashville's famed Grand Ole
Opry in the number of country music careers that it spawned. Country music star
Hank Williams, Jr. is the narrator of this fascinating country music documentary
which explores the Shreveport, Louisiana musical roots of some of country
music's most venerable stars, including Hank Williams, Sr., Elvis Presley,
Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, George Jones and a host of others. This unique
program uses old photographs, film clips and live transcriptions of old radio
show recordings to tell its entertaining and informative story.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
