| | Elvis Presley Today CD Elvis Presley Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
A uniformly strong selection of songs and cleaner-than-usual production make TODAY one of Elvis Presley's better '70s studio efforts. From its opening track "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" (later a hit for Travis Tritt), TODAY announces that it is not just another collection of regret-filled ballads from the King. Sure, there are a few torch songs here, but on TODAY the tear-jerkers are balanced out by such up-tempo numbers as "Susan When She Tried," the inspirational "Shake A Hand," and a cover of the Billy Swan hit "I Can Help."
On other tracks, Presley transforms the Pointer Sisters' hit "Fairytale" into a two-step and belts out a Tom Jones-like version of the death-row weeper "Green, Green Grass of Home." Throughout, Elvis' crack band sparkles, with guitarist James Burton in particularly fine form. Don't let the nearly identical covers RCA slapped on Presley's Seventies albums fool you: not all Elvis albums from this era are the same. Each has something to recommend it, but TODAY has more than the standard share of highlights.

Elvis' last studio recordings were made in the den of Graceland, with Presley performing his vocals karaoke-style over previously completed backing tracks. Ten of these tracks, recorded in February 1976, are collected on FROM ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. The tone of this album is set by the opening track, "Hurt," a top 10 country hit for the King. Like "Hurt," nearly ...
| | Elvis Presley Raised On Rock CD (1973)
Today music CDs
$9.25
In July 1973, Elvis returned to Memphis, this time to the source of Southern soul, Stax Studios. Apparently, the very idea of working with Elvis was intimidating and the Stax musicians couldn't overcome their awe, so Elvis had to leave the building. In his absence, the rhythm tracks were laid down. He then returned to add his vocals, a practice only used during the last few years of the soundtracks, when he was too bored to show up and work. From all of this, five songs were attempted and one was completed, and they're instantly forgettable. Elvis returned in December to Stax with a mix of his band and some Nashville cats, recording 18 tracks in a week. In between, he had tried a session at his Palm Springs home that didn't work, although three almost ponderously sincere ballads were completed. All in all, RCA had 30 new Elvis songs, enough quality material for two strong albums of 12 tracks each. Unfortunately, the material was issued as three cheesily packaged albums of a mere ten tracks each. Raised on Rock, Good Times, and Promised Land all have something to offer, but the lesser material dilutes the impact of the strong and the sound ranges from O.K. to atrocious, thus producing more evidence of Presley's growing mediocrity. ~ Neal Umphred

Recorded between 1954 & 1976. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.
The posthumous scouring of the vaults since Elvis Presley's death has produced results varying from the sublime to the execrable. This four-disc boxed set is one of the former. Containing outtakes from every stage of Presley's career both studio-recorded and live, TODAY, TOMORROW & FOREVER is an indispensable background document to the story of a seminal 20th century figure. It's fascinating to hear him in the '50s singing the kind of schlocky ...

Years of acting in comedies and performing Las Vegas revues have clouded public perception of Bette Midler; people tend to forget now just how completely weird she was in 1972, how she skirted on the edges of taboo. Absurdly sexy, defiantly trashy, and unafraid of crossing musical boundaries whenever she felt like it, the Bette ...

GREATEST HITS collects some of the best from the British pop-rock vocalist Joe Cocker, whose blues-drenched gravelly voice works wonderfully on such tunes as "You Are So Beautiful" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," which are included here among others.
Greatest Hits features most, but not all (no "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" or "It's a Sin When You Love Somebody"), of his biggest hits from the early '70s. Nevertheless, there's plenty of fine music here, making the record a solid compilation. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
18 track overview of his career, complete with two new recordings. Includes the hits 'You Can Leave Your Hat On', 'WithA Little Help From My Friends' (Live) and 'You Are So Beautiful'. 1998 release.

| | Joan Armatrading Collection CD (1998)
Today CD music
$9.79
Between 1975 and 1992, Joan Armatrading released 12 full-length solo albums of new studio recordings on A&M Records, 11 of which reached the British charts, along with ten singles. You might expect that a single-disc 1998 compilation drawn from this material and titled The Collection would present the artistic and commercial highlights of that substantial catalog. But if you did, you would be disappointed in this case. Spectrum Music, a British budget reissue division of PolyGram Records, which, by 1998, owned A&M, has drawn from only three of Armatrading's albums for this package: six tracks come from 1976's Joan Armatrading (among them the Top Ten U.K. hit "Love and Affection"), seven from 1977's Show Some Emotion, and five from 1980's Me Myself I (among them the U.K. chart entry "All the Way From America," but not the U.K. Top 40 title song).
