That's not Elvis - he never recorded this song. I was taken aback at first, as I knew I'd never heard such up-front steel on any of his tracks over the years. I've looked up the title, though, and it's not him. I bet this is someone copying his style.

There's never been any shortage of singers doing that!

Roger, I think your right. I went back to the video and found that the heading read "The Resurection Of Elvis". I apologize for that and will ammend the title and the post. Thanks

Travis Tritt did a great version of that song a few years ago, with some great steel playing by Terry Crisp.

Kind Regards, Walter

According to comments underneath the video, it's Elvis impersonator Jimmy Ellis...otherwise known as Orion in the business. Had a very successful career until his passing a few years ago.

Pretty convincing though, I can see how anyone would think it's Elvis.

Song is from an album titled The Legend continues or something like that.

No idea who played steel.
