Way down in the jungle room is a compilation album by american singer elvis presley it was released on august 5 2016 by rca records and legacy recordings the album features master recordings and outtakes from two recording sessions on february 2 8 1976 and october 28 30 1976 in the jungle room a recording studio set up by elvis in the den of graceland in memphis tennessee. Constructed in 1965 as an additional part of the mansion the jungle room was the space in which elvis spent a large majority of his time. Graceland the former home turned museum of elvis presley is an idiosyncratic place in its totality. For him his breathtakingly garish tiki tinged lair sui generis in the realm of ostentatious kitsch was merely the den constructed in.

But perhaps the crowning jewel of graceland s quirk is the jungle room. Elvis bought the furniture on a whim in 1974 supposedly to rile his father vernon had said it was the ugliest furniture he d ever laid eyes on. Elvis loved the idea of a waterfall but it became a nuisance because it regularly flooded and leaked. A majority of the jungle room material was released as from elvis presley boulevard memphis tennessee in the spring of 1976 featuring the top 10 hit hurt a year later in july 1977 more of these sessions were paired with overdubbed live material and released as moody blue.

Elvis father vernon hated the animal print furniture which elvis purchased on a whim to rile him up. The jungle room was loaded with exotic plants animal prints and floor to ceiling shag carpet in what can only be described as an african motif.
