Suspicious Minds - Stuff I Like

I had just turned 11 a month earlier and was in a car on a 2 hour drive from New Orleans to Lafayette, La. In the middle of our trip the DJ on the station announced that Elvis had died. It's one of those moments where you remember where you were when you heard the news.

I was familiar with a lot of Elvis songs but some how I had never heard Suspicious Minds. I don't think I heard the Elvis original until after hearing Dwight Yoakum cover the song in 1995.

I still like Dwight's version better but Elvis's original is pretty good as well.
