Blues for Elvis: King Does the King's Things is a tribute album by Albert King to Elvis Presley, released in 1970 on Stax Records. It was produced by Donald Duck Dunn and Al Jackson Jr., both members of Booker T. and the M.G.'s. The album reinterprets famous Elvis songs in a blues style.
The album includes versions of classics like Heartbreak Hotel and Jailhouse Rock, transformed by King's signature guitar sound. The recording reflects the influence of blues on Elvis's music, and King pays homage to the King of Rock and Roll from his own perspective.
Although not one of King's most successful albums, Blues for Elvis is appreciated by collectors for its unique concept. The combination of King's voice and guitar with Stax arrangements creates an interesting fusion between Memphis blues and Elvis's rockabilly.
