Here is what was written about the song T-R-O-U-B-L-E in the 1982 Discography book "The Illustrated Record " by Roy Carr and Mick Farren. I agree 100%
A Blockbusting performance from everyone involved. T-R-O-U-B-L-E evoked the same combustible intensity Elvis had rarely triggered since his NBC-TV Special. Spurred on by Ronnie Tutt's demented drumming, Elvis fired straight from the hip with covering fire from the dueling pianistics of David Briggs and Glen D Hardin. This was Rock and Roll as it was originally conceived, and coupled with his recent hit, " Promised Land ", this track dispelled persisted rumors that Elvis was to sick to cut the mustard.
T-R-O-U-B-L-E offered sufficient evidence that Elvis had caught a second breath, picked up the thread and was still capable of mixing it in the roughest of company. So why this remarkable single didn't top the charts, instead of crawling no higher than #35, remains to this day a perplexing unsolved mystery. At the time of its release, Elvis was out on the road packing in the SRO crowds nightly on a southern trek, generating scenes of mass hysteria and grossing more greenbacks than most other Rock groups of the time.
It's inexplicable that not only the American public but the world at large didn't recognize a stone solid Elvis Presley classic when it bulldozed right over them. If that was the case, they didn't deserve better.
