Elvis Now is a gold-selling Elvis Presley album from 1972.
Despite the "now" in the title, the tracks on this album were recorded anywhere from one to three years before its release. "Hey Jude" had been recorded at Elvis' legendary sessions at the American Studio in Memphis in early 1969. "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago" had been recorded in June 1970 and released, in fragmentary form, on the Elvis Country album of that year.
Like most Elvis albums of the period, the songs had little to do with each other, and the album had a somewhat disjointed feel. It did have some highlights, particularly Elvis' take on the Gordon Lightfoot composition Early Mornin' Rain.
