Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) will be released on Friday 6th April 2017 by Legacy Recordings and RCA Records.
The soundtrack is the musical companion to a two-part documentary directed by Thom Zimny. It will be available in digital and physical configurations including an 18-track definitive soundtrack, a 2LP gatefold 12″ vinyl edition and a 3CD collectible deluxe box set.
Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) features 18 essential Elvis Presley hits, powerful performances, and rare alternative versions of songs. The documentary focuses on the development of Elvis’ spellbinding artistry, from his early blues and country roots and influences through his seismic contributions to popular culture to his 1976 recording sessions at the Jungle Room in Graceland.
Debuting in the US on HBO on 14th April 2018, the documentary uses rare footage from throughout Elvis’ life and career to explore his musical vision.
The 3CD deluxe box set features 37 additional Elvis cuts plus a special disc featuring selections from Mike McCready’s (Pearl Jam) original score for Elvis Presley: The Searcher; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performing Wooden Heart; and the music that inspired Elvis (including R&B and country classics and Home Sweet Home sung by his mother, Gladys Presley).
It also includes a 40-page hardcover book featuring rare photography, liner notes by Warren Zanes, and a director’s note by Thom Zimny.
