Release Date: 1969
Label: RCA

Having spent the majority of the 1960s starring in a plethora of mediocre films, Elvis returned to musical significance in 1968 with a 'Comeback Special'. Inspired by the success of this TV special, he decided to record an album in Memphis and, having passed Dusty Springboard at the studio door, set out recording a set of songs chosen specifically to promote the new Post Rock 'n' Roll/Pre-Vegas Elvis. The songs are soulful and their is a raw maturity in Elvis's performances

Rating: 7/10
Favourite Track: Only The Strong Survive
