Two underrated Elvis albums on one CD,
By Retro_Saiyan (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frankie And Johnny - Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Double Features 5) (Audio CD)
OK, so nobody is gonna mistake either "Frankie and Johnny" and "Paradise Hawaiian Style" as being among his best work. That said, both are good albums, if they are accepted on their own terms (1960's pop).
"Frankie and Johnny" is my favourite of the two, with is slightly unusual arrangements that include elements of the time that the movie itself was set in (1890s), although the songs sound more like something from a "Looney Tune" short than authentic music of the time. Still, Elvis tries his best, and the end result is fairly listenable, if cartoonish music, and few of the tracks are downright bad. "Paradise Hawaiian Style", on the other hand, is basically the same thing, except with Hawaiian music. The tracks here are a mixed bag, with some verging on unlistenable (Such as the Grant/Baum/Kaye compostion "Queenie Wahine's Papaya"), although as usual, even on the songs which Elvis himself may not of liked, he still sings them very well. Overall this CD may not rank among anyone's favourites, but with Elvis Presley's excellent singing, plus support from some of the top musicians and songwriters at RCA at the time, this is certainly a worthwhile listen.

frankie and johnny /paradise hawaiian style,

This review is from: Frankie And Johnny - Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Double Features 5) (Audio CD)
Paradise hawaiian style=
Nothing speical about this album the Hawiian sound runs right through the album and ties in nicely with the film theme. Nothing to make you cringe but also nothing very exciting proberly the best track is 'Sand castles' ( not even in the film). You have your usual nonesense songs like 'Queenie wahaines papaya' 'Scratch my back 'and a couple of others . Overall an average album nothing to get excited about, like Blue Hawaii a good album to put on in the middle of an English winter. Frankie and johnny= Difficult album to review this one firstly I dont like' it singing dixie is not what Elvis is about though some might point to 'King Creole' but that was different and the songs were in keeping with Elvis's style.No doubt some people like Dixieland and sounds of the old paddle steamers and thats fine everyone has there own taste's.So i'm not going to say its a bad album simply because I dont like the style, but its not what Elvis should be doing.The Beatles had not long released 'Rubber soul' pushing forward the bounderies of pop music and what do R.C.A do?, put Elvis music back a hundred years. There are a couple of nonesense tracks which you seem to get in most of Elvis soundtracks but the rest do tie in very well with the film. Overall if you like this type of music then its a good album for you (and proberly worth 4 stars )if you are indifferent then you will only like a couple of tracks, for me its only a 2 star album' but to be fair I will give it 3 stars, buying both as a double feature is value for money.

My review,
This review is from: Frankie And Johnny - Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Double Features 5) (Audio CD)
Strictly for Elvis fans only, I have been an Elvis fan for over 40yrs, but his later films where dreadfull and the songs reflect that, not a decent song on this album very sub standard Elvis, not worthy of the King.
