I should think Elvis will pay tribute at his next show.

I loved that 'supple' voice both figuratively and in the lyrical line.......

Andrew Neumeyer on facebook comments - There are at least two more Merle Haggard references on King Of America — the mention of "Workin' Man Blues" in "Suit Of Lights" and the paraphrase of "I Threw Away The Rose" in "Poisoned Rose."
