1001 Albums: #25 - Elvis Presley - Elvis is Back!

Elvis Presley - Elvis is Back!
RCA, 1960


I love the mental image of Elvis getting back from the Army and immediately being shoved into a recording studio. Elvis isn't my personal favorite, but his influence among soulful white boys of a certain age is hard to ignore. One of my favorite things about this particular album is how thrown together it feels. That's a feature not a bug. It feels natural, not overproduced. Considering how hungry the adoring public was for new Elvis, the bar was pretty low, and it feels like The Pelvis and his crew went above and beyond to deliver an album that is a lot more fun than it needed to be.

  1. I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com
