Home Recordings Part 2

This CD features Elvis and his pals singing at home, recorded on a home tape recorder. The sound quality is poor, but listenable. Accompaniment is generally limited to either piano or guitar. We get to hear Elvis and friends having fun singing and goofing around. These are not professional performances, but it is fun to hear for an Elvis fan. Many of these songs would have made great records if they had been professionally recorded (and some of them were). There are a few songs here that are different from the rest. "Fools Rush In" and "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" feature Elvis singing along to a schmaltzy instrumental "sing along at home" album that I can't identify. "Blowin' in the Wind" and "500 Miles" feature Elvis and friends singing along to "Sing a Song with The Kingston Trio". I can't give an unqualified recommendation to this album, based on the poor sound quality. But Elvis fans with forgiving ears should enjoy this CD.
