Customer Reviews

The CD makes for an easy target, but a fun listen!5
Many find this CD laughable because it sounds a bit "dated". While some songs do not stand the test of time so well, what is great about this album is that the songs sound so different. Until I heard this CD I was not too excited about the posibility of a modern-day Elvis remix album, after hearing the mostly funky remixes, I truly hope there will be a remix album in Elvis' future.

elvis funkiest rockin cd5
THIS IS THE WAY ELVIS MUSIC SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECORDED.IT IS A SHAME THAT HIS PRODUCER PASSED AWAY BEFORE HE HAD A CHANCE TO RE-DO MORE MATERIAL.THIS IS ONE GREAT COLLECTION ABD A FRESH SOUND.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AND ENCOURAGE BMG TO TRY AND REPEAT THIS ON MORE ELVIS MUSIC

We don't need a Guitar Man, son2
After Elvis died, his producer Felton Jarvis erased the instrumental tracks from some of Elvis' songs and added new backing tracks. This was a misguided attempt to "modenize" Elvis. It was actually a moderate success. The remixed version of "Guitar Man" actually reached # 1 on the country charts. Tracks # 3 to 12 here duplicate the orignal "Guitar Man" album. The rest of the tracks are previously unreleased songs from the same sessions. If I had to describe what these remixed songs sound like, I would say that majority of them sound like '80s country songs. For the most part, it doesn't really work for me. To my ears, "Burning Love", "Guitar Man" and "Too Much Monkey Business" are pretty good, but everything else is basically worthless. Recommended for curiosity seekers only.
