Elvis Presley (g, voc); The Jordanaires (voc); and various bands
At first sight, it does not look as though Elvis's
31st album was destined to be a hit. But if you
take a look at his artistic biography in the year
of its release - 1968 - then you will recognise
the clever gimmicks that his wide-awake management
employed to captivate rock 'n' roll fans when
Elvis was somewhat 'stiff in the hips'. In this
fourth Gold Edition, a tried and tested method was
used to create a new LP: namely, a compilation of
single hits from the years 1961 to 1967. The
result was just what fans wanted! Alongside
sentimental songs such as 'Love Letters', the
tearjerker 'Lonely Man' and the sobbing,
heartstring tugging ballad 'It Hurts Me', we find
spirited rock 'n' roll ('Witchcraft', 'Ain't That
Loving You Baby') and honky-tonk blues ('A Mess Of
Blues') in a toned-down 12-beat measure. In
contrast, 'Don't Drag That String Around' is
cheerful, light and springy and, - for a change -
not a blues number.
Then we have the country song 'Devil In Disguise'
with its angry lyrics, and the soul title 'What'd
I Say' by Ray Charles with an electric sound that
is lent by the Rhodes piano. All in all, this LP
is a great collection from the grand old days of
rock 'n' roll.
