abstract
  • True Love Travels on a Gravel Road is a song written by the Frazier-Owens songwriting team and popularized by Elvis Presley. It was originally recorded by Duane Dee in 1968, and was a very minor hit, reaching #58 on the country charts. Elvis recorded the song on 17 February 1969 at American Sound Studios in Memphis. He also performed the song at the International Hotel in the Las Vegas Valley on January 26, 1970. It appears on From Elvis in Memphis, as well as a number of compilations; The Memphis Record, The Memphis 1969 Anthology: Suspicious Minds, and From Nashville to Memphis: The Essential '60s Masters.A 1969 recording of the song by Percy Sledge enjoyed success as well. Esquire would later refer to it as %22that rarely reprised Percy Sledge beauty %22True Love Travels on a Gravel Road%22 [which] is no small blessing.%22In 1995 it was also released as a single by Nick Lowe on the Unichappell Music/Acuff Rose Music (BMI) . Lowe said of the song, %22I first heard %22True Love Travels on a Gravel Road%22 on a compilation record that accompanied Peter Guralniek's book %22Sweet Soul Music%22. I love the title, I love those sort of gospely words, and it has a lovely tune. Percy Sledge's version is kind of jaunty, where mine is a little more downbeat. .. I love that thing where R & B meets country...%22The Highwaymen also recorded the song. The Afghan Whigs also recorded a version for their Uptown Avondale e.p.The song is in key of C major with a progression from C to E minor, to F to G to C and is a mixture of country and gospel. Sledge, however, recorded the song on the Atlantic Records label in the key of E major with a funkier, more upbeat version.
