the story elvis tells about seeing a guy doing elvis songs in a nightclub, and then elvis or somebody picks up a guitar to illustrate, and elvis starts singing 'don't be cruel', doing it the way the guy he saw was doing it, and everybody's just swept up in the story and starts following along, and you can hear the admiration in elvis' voice, not that he gives him an easy time - he says the first two numbers the guy was trying too hard - but then he says the guy was 'just cuttin' it, man' and he even explains the way the guy was dancing. 'i went back to see him 4 nights in a row, man'

their 'further along' might be the best recording of that song on spotify apart from possibly the carter family version that i can't find right now
there is also a fairly showoffy oak ridge boys version that is nonetheless absolutely mega. (partic love the delayed guitar!?)
anyway - what an absolutely incredible thing this recording is. i grew up with half these songs, which is maybe why it's slain me so thoroughly

i am down a rabbit-hole of "farther along" and the stanley brothers one is unsurprisingly definitive
