Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) includes essential Elvis Presley hits, powerful performances, and rare alternative versions of songs at the musical core of Emmy and Grammy award winner Thom Zimny's groundbreaking three-hour two-part documentary film which focuses on the development of Elvis' spellbinding artistry, from his early blues and country roots and influences through his seismic contributions to popular culture to his 1976 recording sessions at the Jungle Room in Graceland.
The film, Elvis Presley: The Searcher, which premieres on HBO in April 2018, pushes past the larger-than-life image of The King of Rock and Roll, portraying him instead as a man and an artist "who wanted to heal, to find that thing that was always felt to be missing, and to do it through the music."
In his package notes for Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack), director Thom Zimny writes, "the soundtrack was in my mind from the beginning. I wasn't just making a film, I was thinking about the collection of recordings I would gather for a person who saw the film, who wanted to complete the experience, just as I always had. Thankfully, our friends at Sony gave me and the Searcher team the chance to create this collection. It's been in my mind for years now. To me, this collection is part of the film."
