From the site:

This week, Sony put out a box set titled Elvis at Stax, a three-CD package documenting Presley’s July and December 1973 sessions at the South Memphis studio. Its release will be celebrated Tuesday with a special ceremony at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, part of the annual Elvis Week festivities…

……

…In addition to a mix of members of Elvis’ touring band (guitarist James Burton, drummer Ronnie Tutt) and a few former American Studios players (guitarist Reggie Young, bassist Tommy Cogbill), several Stax musicians, including MG’s bassist Duck Dunn, drummer Al Jackson Jr. and guitarist Bobby Manuel, were summoned to play with Presley.
