Elvis never cut a true blues album which is a cyring shame because the man could wrap his voice around a blues song like nothing else.
This album takes tracks from various places and puts them all together. Yes, there are some excellent songs missing from this compilation but there are some gems on this album. The ever wonderful 'Reconsider Baby' is a stand-out, with Elvis so into the song that you can hear him throatily encouraging the musicians to 'play those blues, boy' in the bridge. There's also a down and dirty version of 'Stranger in My Home Town' plus the excellent original version of 'One Night of Sin'. 'Like A Baby' gives me tingles everytime I hear it.
I could go on and on talking about the wonderful songs that feature here including 'It Feels So Right', 'So Glad You're Mine', 'I Feel So Bad' and, well, you get the picture. Get this album and wallow in it. The King at his bluesy best. I'll say again - what more could you ask?
For those who know their blues, Elvis was a recipient of the WC Handy award for "keeping the blues alive in his music."
This great collection is missing loads of superb tracks, but still is excellent with many highlights and standout tracks. What would be good, would be a double CD of blues, but for now, and at this price, this is a great great CD.
