ELVIS PRESLEY "elvis now" vinyl, 1972.
his sixteenth studio in sixteen years plus all those stupid movie soundtracks he did...
country sounding for the most part including a terrible country style version of Hey Jude, man that was bad!
at least the UK'ers were still loyal to their king with it peaking at #12 out there and the single "until its time for you to go" peaking at #5, the same really cant be said for elsewhere with the album rarely bothering the charts elsewhere...
i thought it was a great album with very good versions of "we can make the morning", "help me make it through the night", "put your hand in the hand", "miracle of the rosary", "early morning rain" and "fools rush in", all of which were/are as good as any version of the songs out there IMO. as i said, only letdown was the abysmal Hey Jude cover....
all up, i know its mainly a covers album but Presley was at his vocal peak between 68-74 IMO...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
