From Elvis Presley Blvd is....

one of the best albums the "King of Rock & Roll" ever recorded! Buy it today - you won't regret it.

My personal favorite Elvis album

For me, this represents Elvis at his late-period best. The album is well-produced, and while skimpy at 10 tracks (it was all about product, product, product back then), the ones that are here are glorious. His passionate versions of standards like Solitaire and Hurt are powerfully sung without being overwrought. You really get to glimpse into Elvis' musical world, as the songs he sings here are personal favorites of his. Purists who think the Sun Sessions are the only Elvis songs worth hearing won't like this, but for the rest of this, this is a great disc.

WOW.......SAD, but Powerful.

I'm 26, and I've been a Presley fan pretty much my entire life. However, I just recently bought this album. My parents had the LP when I was growing up, but for some reason, I never really remember listening to it. But, over the past several months, I have been really getting back into Elvis, and when I saw this album at the store today, I just had to buy it. Actually, it's the Moody Blue/Presley Boulevard split cd. Pretty much most of the other reviews I've read are accurate. This is an EXTREMELY sad album. When I listened to it straight through for the first time, I almost felt emotionally drained. I wouldn't listen to this album when you're extremely depressed....you're liable to hang yourself. (I'm just kidding, but you get the point.) HOWEVER, as somber as this album is, I COULDN'T WAIT to listen to it again. Hence, my 5 star rating. The desperation in Elvis' voice is just amazing. You get the feeling that he is really meaning and FEELING every single word that he is singing. As I've long told other people, love or hate Elvis' "later years", there's no denying that his voice during this period was at it's strongest ever. What a set of pipes!! If you're just getting into Elvis, or only have a couple of his earlier albums, I might not suggest getting this album JUST yet. You sort of need to see and hear his progression up until this point. But, this album is definitely a must-have. If you don't mind sadness and desperation, and love the powerful and awesome voice of Elvis Presley, then you must get this album. I'm going to listen to it again!
