Male" is a song by Jerry Reed, recorded for his 1967 debut album The Unbelievable Guitar and Voice of Jerry Reed.

[3] The song was recorded in January 1968 and followed the kind of country-influenced rock and roll sound Presley had already recorded in September 1967 with songs like "Big Boss Man" and "Guitar Man".

[4] Presley recorded these three songs accompanied by Reed on lead guitar.

It paved the way for Presley's famous '68 Comeback Special, filmed in June 1968 and broadcast on NBC on December 3, 1968.

Dave Marsh included the song in his collection, The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made[5] as song #655.
