The song has had many adaptations since its original performance by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. A young Elvis Presley chose to sing a cover of "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" when he auditioned for the Grand Ole Opry in 1954 and recorded the song for his first Sun Records single. Presley later apologized to Monroe for changing the arrangement of his song. Other entertainers that have included it as repetoire on their albums include Patsy Cline, Patty Loveless, and Ricky Skaggs.
