Lisa Marie Presley recently performed for the first time in her childhood home, Graceland. As part of an exclusive for Ram Country on Yahoo Music, Presley performed in Elvis Presley’s famous Jungle Room, where Elvis recorded music for some of his last albums.
In this video, Lisa Marie Presley sings “Weary” from her 2012 album Storm & Grace
in the Jungle Room while her husband, Michael Lockwood plays the oldest guitar from Elvis Presley Enterprises’ collection. Elvis used the guitar several times in the movies, including in Loving You (1957), King Creole (1958), and Jailhouse Rock (1957). [July 2014 Update: Unfortunately, the videos of Lisa Marie Presley recording in the Jungle Room are no longer available. So we have replaced the missing video with a video of her discussing her return to Memphis and playing in the Jungle Room, followed by a video of her performing “Weary” at WFUV.]
Below is Lisa Marie Presley performing “Weary” at the studios of radio station WFUV in New York.
