Opeth - Beneath The Mire

The next day was also eventful, but of a different kind. After listening, Sam Phillips took the time to talk about Elvis with Scotty Moore. A twenty-two-year-old guitarist was torn between his brother's dry cleaning service and a country-style music ensemble under the direction of Doug Poindexter, who largely supported him. Moore did not intend to clean his clothes and hats all his life and intended to succeed thanks to his talent. Visiting the studio of Sam Phillips, he managed to persuade him to record Poindexter's Starlight Ranglers. Their only single under the San brand was hardly sold in three hundred copies and did not make a splash, but Phillips noted for himself how masterfully he mastered the Moore instrument.
