I love all three songs but got too go with 'I Got A Thing...' - Always thought this would make a great summer single. Just has that certain bounce to it.

Not so sure about "now I've finally got the noove" instead of "nerve" - but "I Got A Thing" is a beauty.

Tony's version is better though. Would love to hear Elvis do it with the acoustic guitar backing.

Polk Salad was a classic by both artists. I Love Elvis' 72 versions - specially Hampton Roads which is awesome.

For Ol' Times Sake - both artists are equal. Tony's is very soulful, Elvis' is heartbreaking.

Brilliant - all of them and Tony Joe is still pumping out class stuff.
I would have loved to Elvis' take on Feelin' Snakey

I voted for Polk Salad Annie.
I like the On Stage version the best.

There was a time when I would have chosen "Polk Salad Annie". But over time I got sick and tired of that song. I voted for "i've Got A thing About You Baby".
