Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley (CD, Apr-1999, 2 Discs, RCA Records USA)

This 2CD-set really delivers. It's from Elvis' best studio sesssions. Returning to making great studio songs again, after years of making soundtracks to movies.
The first CD containing mainly the "old stuff", is just great for everyone to lsiten to. It's rock'n'roll, it's country, it's love songs, it's.....
The second CD has many alternate versions. Great for the Elvis collectors, but also for anyone that wants to explore Elvis' different moods and ways of singing. Wellknown songs, just a tad different from the official releases.

All in all, a great CD. Highly reommended.

Elvis are happy to sing, happy to play with excellent sessions musiciens. A good feeling and warm soul "country" music from Memphis.

One of several CDs available from the 1969 American Sound Studio recording sessions and every single one is worth the purchase. The perfect match for the FTD release "Memphis Sessions".

This is simply the best compilation from those legendary days at American Studios in early 1969, at least counting official releases, I think. In addition to what is on the original LPs "From Elvis In Memphis" and "Back In Memphis", you also get the single A/B sides that were recorded + some outtakes. A lot of this also is on the 2LP "The Memphis Record" released in the 1990s(?), but this is CD. American Studios material is also on bootleg (aka import) albums in the "American Crown Jewels" series.

This really is some of the very best music ever released...SOOO FAR away from his movie stuff!!

I BOUGHT THIS CD BECAUSE I HAD BEEN RESEARCHING ELVIS MUSIC, AND THIS ALBUM HASALL THE MUSIC RECORDED AT STAX IN MEMPHIS,WITH CHIPS MOMAN. I LOVED READING ABOUT THIS EVENT, AND THE MUSIC IS GREAT,AS IS THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED,I'M VERY PLEASED, AS BEING A 50'S FAN I LEAN TOWARDS ELVIS' EARLY MUSIC

I like this 2CD set a great deal. Elvis decided to record this in Memphis in 1969 about a year after his great 1968 comeback. The thing I like most about these recordings is that the band is really tight and Elvis appears to be really loose and having a lot of fun working the songs as only he could. It was amazing what he could do with his voice and his interpretations of songs on this CD are one of a kind. Listening to Elvis on this CD confirms his status as the "King". Great songs sung by a great singer!! In my opinion, this may have been his last great studio album.
