It was recorded in December 1973 at Stax Records studios in Memphis
and released on Presley's 40th birthday in January, 1975.
The material was the second pick from the December 1973 session, as

earlier as a single on September 27, 1974, and hit number 14 on the
Billboard Hot 100 and the UK top ten. Its flip side, "It's Midnight",
reached 9 on the Country Charts. Another hit single from the album
was "If You Talk in Your Sleep" reaching 17 on the Billboard Hot
100.
In the US the album only reached number 47 on the Billboard Top 200

also reached 1 in the Country Cashbox albums chart. In the UK the
album reached #21. (wikipedia
