Dr J, I was thrilled too when he started Suit Of Lights, which I love - but alas he did that thing where he changed the melody of the incredibly melodic chorus, changing the effect - I wish he'd stuck to the melody on the record. Highlights for me were the ballads - my favourite, I think, was Scarle...

Am I the only person on earth who's immune to the Presley voice? It just doesn't move me - the wobbliness etc. - it's always left me cold. If you admit this, people look at you like you're a martian. He's a great rocker of course, but his ballad singing for me is pretty awful. Have you heard how he ...

The best ones for me are: This Year's Model (classic, iconic image of Elvis, which also really sums up the new-wave look, and the punk/post-punk obsession with fashion) King Of America (serious yet hilarious portrait - can't read that expression at all! The cropping/lighting is perfect.) Spike (gre...

Elvis's newest songs - more detail please!!
Hi all - anyone here got to know the new songs (Nothing Clings Like Ivy, Monkey To Man, Country Darkness etc etc...) through concert recordings or the like?
I'm dying to hear a rundown on 'em! Anyone care to try and capture the sound of them in words or compare them to other songs?
Cheers xxx

I'm not crazy about the Album, but it does have an astonishingly beautiful trio of covers in Good Year For The Roses, Sweet Dreams, and How Much I Lied. I actually think Sweet Dreams is far superior to Patsy Cline's version, which I guess is the most famous one. Elvis's voice is so heartbroken on it...

The song 'Girl In The Other Room'
Loved this song on first listen - but I have to say the wonderful lyric is also pretty cruel, as the girl in the other room is clearly Cait, having to listen to Elvis and Diana on the other side of the wall. God knows what she would think if she heard it. That said, I doubt she's one of the ones who...
