Moody Blue - Presley, Elvis (CD 2000)

By listening to the last album made by Elvis Presley it's hard to tell that he was sick judging by the release of some of his final concerts by either bootleg or RCA release.

Unchained Melody: The first song on the album. I hate to tell you folks but that song was doctored up. The way it was originally recorded was just Elvis and the Piano. RCA added the other instruments and vocals to give the song more effect and vigor. It's a true fact.

If you Love me Let me know. Olivia Newton John's bubble gum country classic. # 2 song on the album. I've heard better live versions done by Elvis. Elvis In Concert (1977) was a great example.

Little Darlin'. # 3 song. What a waste of time. Sorry, I'm a die hard fan but this was Elvis at his worst. Enough said.

He'll have to go. # 4 song. Sluggish version of the Jim Reeves classic. Sounds like Elvis was about to fall asleep during parts of the song.

Let Me Be there. # 5 song. Taken from the 1974 Elvis Live at Mid-South Collisieum. Excellent version yet needed to fill the space to complete the album.

Way Down.# 6 song. This could have been Elvis' next Burning Love! However, this was the best version released as to the many different versions (slow and up tempo) that were played on the radio. Could have had #1 chart potential had Elvis not died. It seemed like Elvis was having fun with this song. That he still new how to rock and deliver when he had to.

Pledging My Love. # 7 song. A great heartfelt version of the original Johnny Ace ballad. Kudo's to James Burton's awesome guitar solo.

Moody Blue. # 8 song. The title says it all. Elvis at his best.

She Thinks I Still Care. # 9 song. George Jones should have never sang another note after Elvis did a flawless cover of this song.

It's Easy For You. # 10 song. For this to be Elvis' last recorded (so they say) song during his lifetime, it's sad but effective. You could tell how torn up inside he was emotionally.
