What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

from my library (vinyl)



Not really many Elvis albums in my collection. That's not to say I'm not a fan. Just born a few years too late, as my fascination with music began around the British invasion. Elvis was already for them old people. Came to appreciate him much more after the brits tapped out. That would be quite a few years. This album is a budget compilation which includes only one hit for the king, Always On My Mind which was backed by the title track. This was one of those double sided singles where both tracks received considerable airplay. That single reached #16 on the country charts and took the album to #12 country and #46 pop. Other than those two tracks, the rest of the album are re-issues with the oldest being Red Foleys Old Shep from 1956. Barely made it through that one. No way I'm puttin' down my own dog. I'd just as soon watch the Kardashians before I'd do that. Favorite is an old Ames Brothers track that Elvis tackles equally well.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Is It So Strange

Best Track - Sentimental Me

Sentimental me
Guess I’ll always will be
So in love with you
Say you love me too
Sentimental me

Dreaming while I live
Living just to give
All my love to you
No one else will do
Sentimental me

Reaching for the moon
Wishing on the stars
On my honeymoon
I want to be where you are

Darling can't you see
It was meant to be
I'm in love with you
Say you love me too
Sentimental me

Darling can't you see
It was meant to be
I'm in love with you
No-one else will do
