Elvis Is Back! is the fourth studio album by American singer Elvis Presley, released on April 8, 1960, by RCA Victor. It was Presley's first album of new material since 1958's King Creole soundtrack as well as his first to be recorded and released in stereophonic sound. The album marked Presley's return to music after his discharge from the U.S. Army.

During his last months in the Army, Presley began preparing material and working on improving his performance for his first session in Nashville, scheduled to take place upon his return.

Fontana from his original band, the Blue Moon Boys, for two blocks of sessions in late March and early April. The material on the album has some influences from the rock and roll of Presley...
