"See See Rider" is a popular American 12-bar blues song.
In later years, Presley regularly opened his performances with the song, such as was captured on his 1970 "On Stage" album.
Film director Martin Scorsese credited the song with stimulating his interest in music. He later said:
"One day, around 1958, I remember hearing something that was unlike anything I'd ever heard before... The music was demanding, "Listen to me!"... The song was called "See See Rider," which I already knew from the Chuck Willis cover version. The name of the singer was Lead Belly... I found an old Folkways record by Lead Belly... And I listened to it obsessively. Lead Belly's music opened something up for me. If I could have played guitar, really played it, I never would have become a filmmaker".
