New, no, but worthwhile, I'd say yes, and not because I need all the Elvis I can get. This is the Elvis period that's of greatest interest to me, and to hear him doing his stuff in front of a Hayride audience offers some insights into what he was doing and thinking during a critical time in his career - and for country music.
