Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This 32-track, double CD set--a companion to a television special--is marketed as the King's "most emotionally affecting tunes," songs he connected to his real-life romance with his wife and daughter. Well, that's a novel repackaging ploy, especially as this collection contains "Heartbreak Hotel," a song Elvis recorded in 1956, well before he met Priscilla. However, the second disc, a collection of rarities, is far more interesting, beginning with "It Wouldn't Be the Same Without You," one of the four known demos Presley recorded before winning his Sun contract. His tone here--pure and almost girlish--is the sweet sound of a boy who would be Dean Martin, not a revolution in the making. Private recordings of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Baby What You Want Me to Do" are so "living room" as to seem deliciously voyeuristic. But the most fascinating glimpse here comes as an alternate take of "You'll Be Gone," a song Presley wrote in 1962 with friends Red West and Charlie Hodge. Utterly awful, it finds him meandering into the squishy no man's land that characterized much of the period. He played it for the visiting Priscilla, who said she liked his rock 'n' roll stuff better, and, crushed, he supposedly never tried to write a song again. That was history's loss, but Priscilla ended up being a better A&R director than anybody else Elvis had around him at the time. And not a bad album packager it turns out, though the "rare, never-before-seen family photos" promised in the booklet don't quite cut the mustard. --Alanna Nash
Album Description
Ruslana's album, Wild Dances combines the talents of Hutselean musicians, sparkling rhythms and of course, wild dances to create an energetic style of music and an outstanding performance when witnessed live. Her ethno-pop music is inspired by the ancient culture of the Ukrainian Carpathians who live in the remote mountains of the land. Ruslana is a cult figure in the Ukraine, especially among fellow Ukrainian musicians and producers, and has completed two graduate degrees in music. Composing and arranging her own music, she has produced her own songs and even directed some of her own videos. Her album "Wild Dances" is the first album ever to achieve platinum status in the Ukraine.
