There's no denying Elvis had a few downers during his long carreer, some due to misguidance and some the result of bad choices. But when he was at his best he was the best, with a voice virtually unprecidented in popular music up to this day. If you ever doubted his vocal ability this album will set you straight. Recorded during two days in Nashville October 1960 with some of his ordinary gang and produced by Steve Sholes. You can hear these are favorite songs. He's really in there with every emotion yet having the voice in perfect control. Backing is very sparse, mostly just piano, bass and the Jordinaries, all in splendid harmony. Audio is completely natural and you can hear every nuance from both voices and instruments. When listening to records I always want presence and connection and this gives me more than I ever dreamt of. It's been called the greatest gospel album ever. I don't have much to compare with but can certainly say it has to be one of the best recorded. First German issue had glossy label as shown here and thin, glossy cover. (FÖGÄ*)(ÄWY*) (GÖXÄ*)
