Release number at bottom of the label

 Side A.  Milkcow Blues Boogie

Side B.  You're A Heartbreaker

 Neither of this 45 charted

Elvis' third single for Sun Records, the trio once again took an old blues number "Milkcow Blues Boogie", like the first recordings this was a gutsy blues performance from Elvis, with a strong beat and a false start  just before Elvis jumps in and says..."hold it fellas that move me, let's get real, real gone for a change", then we get the early Elvis trademark, as with "Good Rockin' Tonight"...Elvis opens with "We-l-l-l", Elvis delivers a staggering vocal on this tune, and with the band they pull this off and make this cut a classic in my eyes, backed with the country-ish "You're A Heartbreaker", it was released December 28th 1954.
