Something for everybody.ELVIS PRESLEY is that rare kind of artist in today's music world. His
appeal is so broad and so deep that it cuts through several age levels and
through all areas of musical enjoyment. Young people like Elvis because he
is young and he sings the songs they want to hear the way they want them
sung. Jazz fans like Elvis because he has roots in the blues of the South
and sings with such genuine and original blues feeling. Parents like Elvis
because he has been successful without scandal and because his behaviour
has been something for their children to aim at. Movie fans like Elvis
because he throws himself into his roles, and because they getan
opportunity to view him singing the hits. Inshort. there's something for
everybody in Elvis Presley. This album is a perfect example of that idea
There's something for everybody in either the ballod side or the rhythm
side (although many listeners will find it difficult to choose their
favourite side). Elvis has surrounded himself with on all-star group of
musicians and singers. The Jordanaires are on hand, as are pianist Floyd
Cramer, tenor sax man Boots Randolph, and guitarist Honk Garland, The
songs range from the blues to tender love ballads, with every stop in
between. Elvis has even included "l slipped, I stumbled I fell" from the
Jerry Wald Production "Wild in the Country" a 20th Century-Fox Release in
CinemaScope. SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY is another milestone in a great
American career. It takes its place among the wonderful series of albums
made by Elvis, all of which have become collectors' treasures. |
