1956년 12월 4일, 멤피스의 Sun 스튜디오에서는 칼 퍼킨스의 새 싱글 'Matchbox' 녹음이 있었다. 피아니스트로는 제리 리 루이스가 참여한 가운데 1년전 Sun 레이블과 결별한 엘비스 프레슬리가 인사차 스튜디오를 방문하게 되고 이들은 레코딩을 염두에 두지 않은 상황에서 어릴 적 불렀던 가스펠들을 하나하나 부르기 시작하는데 이 순간을 프로듀서 샘 필립스가 오디오 테잎에 담아둔 것이 바로 이 앨범이다. 가스펠, 컨트리, 리듬 앤 블루스의 독특한 조합을 통해 초창기 록큰롤이 어떻게 발전되었는지를 보여주는, 그래서 앨범이라기 보다는 하나의 역사적 자료라고 봐도 좋을 작품이다. 유명한 앨범 커버에는 역시 그 날 스튜디오를 우연히 들른 쟈니 캐쉬의 모습까지 같이 촬영되어 흥미를 더하고 있다.

Softly and tenderly jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me. Patient and loving he's waiting and watching; Watching for you and for me.
Chorus: Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home; Earnestly, tenderly, jesus is calling; Calling, "o sinner, come home!"
Chorus
Why should we linger when jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should we wait, then, and heed not his mercies; Mercies for you and for me?
Chorus
O for the wonderful love he has promised, Promised for you and for me. Though we have sinned he has mercy and pardon; Pardon for you and for me.
Oh, if you tell a lie You know that I'll forgive you Though you say our love is just a game And when you hear my name You'll say I'm from a strange world But is it so strange to be in love with you
Is it so strange That I love you more than all the world Is it so strange I have no eyes for another girl
Oh won't you take me back And say that you still love me To waste a love like ours would be a sin Let us kiss again Let me hold you near And take me from this strange world That I'm living in
If you find your sweetheart In the arms of a friend That's when your heartaches begin When dreams of a lifetime Must come to an end That's when your heartaches begin
