Probably the most atypical release of Terry Allen's career, Amerasia is the soundtrack to a little-seen 1987 film by the European documentary maker Wolf-Eckart Buhler about American soldiers who stayed in Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War. To record the album, Allen traveled to Cambodia and recorded with a local rock band called Caravan (not, obviously, the English progressive rockers of the same name), both in the studio and at a live gig deep in the Thai jungle. Allen then took these tapes back to his usual stomping grounds of Lubbock, TX, and mixed them with new material recorded with his own Panhandle Mystery Band, featuring Lloyd Maines and Don Caldwell. The mixture of Southeast and Southwest is a little uneasy and the two sets of songs don't really mesh together very well, but that seems to at least be partially by design. As on most of Allen's albums, there's a dry but biting humor to songs like "Display Woman/Displaced Man" and "Lucy's Tiger Den." Amerasia is a flawed but ultimately successful experiment. ~ Stewart Mason

Amerasia Soundtrack songs
$23.65
This Australian exclusive collection is entitled THE COUNTRY SIDE OF ELVIS, and has the king performing such rootsy favorites as "Green Green Grass of Home" and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," among others.
If you like your Elvis with a heavy dose of schmaltz, then this Australian-only release is right up your alley. It's 25 of Elvis' country-oriented recordings, with all of the early '50s sides for Sun and RCA deleted from the set. What's left are movie leftovers, album cuts, and B-sides from 1961 to near the end, all of them slickly produced, with most of them sporting a slick Nashville sound. Although the notes go into great detail about Elvis' country roots, this isn't the place to hear him as a hillbilly singer; go to his original Sun sides to hear the real Elvis, country boy at heart. ~ Cub Koda
This classy, 51-track reissue featuring Elvis' country-styled tunes through his entire career starts promisingly enough with the early Sun sides from 1954, including his version of Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky." But like the artist himself, it dissipates disappointingly as the years progress. Elvis' almost universal appeal was grounded in how effectively he mixed blues, gospel, and classic vocal pop along with his country & western influences to produce, well, rock & roll, along with his own unique hybrid of styles. Hence his country recordings even as early as 1956's "Old Shep" and 1958's version of Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" are often marred by sappy backing singers and a commercial slickness that was a harbinger of his Vegas years. Additionally, much of these selections are only vaguely country-sounding, at least in Elvis' hands. "There's Always Me" from 1961 is a pop ballad that is about as far from Hank Williams as Hank Williams, Jr.'s rowdy redneck rock. Far better is Presley's version of Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On," which starts out with stark accompaniment but adds horns and backing singers as the tune progresses. The best songs ...
