Popular myth portrays Elvis Presley's career in steady decline from his heady 1956 debut to his tragic demise in 1977. Most Elvis aficionados feel, however, that Presley reached his artistic nadir in the mid-'60s, when he was cranking out one "boy-meets-girl" movie after another. Hardcore fans, in fact, argue that the '60s were Presley's most artistically fulfilling era, that his voice matured into a profound, emotional baritone at the same time that his material turned from innocent love to the adult themes of loss and regret. WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES pleads their case, presenting the best of Presley's Seventies output in one five-CD box set.
The first two discs contain all of Presley's singles of the era; discs three and four present 26 of his best non-single album tracks. Disc five is devoted to live performance, fitting given that Presley performed over 1000 concerts between 1969 and his death. The set makes a convincing argument for the artistic vitality of Presley's later period, although it requires a high tolerance for dramatic ballads and lavish production. As an added bonus, Presley is supported throughout by one of history's great backing bands, featuring guitar great James Burton.

Editorial Reviews
5 Stars - Indispensable - ...On nearly all of the material here, like all truly great singers, Presley sounded believable....This is sensational music...

      Walk a Mile in my shoes Elvis 70's Master
    Review created: 05/04/08

    I like this box set because the set has a lot of great songs. There is nothing I don't like about the set. This is a good box set for anybody that wants to start a collection of Elvis music. It is a great collection of songs.It is a must have. No Elvis fan should be without this set. I bought this set because there is no greater collection of good clean music. It is a good door to open in history. So why not own the greatest voice in history. I did because I am a fan. You will also be a bigger fan of The King after hearing the music. These are digitally remastered Cds. The sound quality is unbelievable. The Cds sound so good. It is very worth it.

    This is a wonderful compilation of Elvis songs from the decade of the seventies.
    Every Elvis fan should have this collection along with the 50's and 60's colledtions. You can sit and listen to the best of Elvis for hours and not tire of it.
