What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Over to the new stack for a very nice Elvis compilation. I have most of these on a box vinyl
set, but I needed a cd after the Elvis tour last year with my mate. This 2 cd set with 40
tracks fits the bill. People are always surprised that I don't have more Elvis in my collection
than I do. A few years earlier on the birth thing and I'm sure I would. I dove into music at
around the british invasion time, and that just swept me up, making Elvis something my mom
liked. Who wants to like what their mom likes when they're a teenager? Truth is I probably
loved him but wouldn't admit it. Two tracks on here recorded in '76 that I had not heard, Hurt
and Moody Blue. Both are passable but don't compare to earlier work. I lost interest in Elvis
when he became a Vegas act. I will list the tracks on here but no way I'm looking them all up.
Only including a clip for my favorite Elvis song. Not grading them either. Like jazz or big
band, they're all classics, because they exist.
