In need of some calmness in my life and a reset so it’s back to my favourite Elvis album. From the sublime opening track to the perfect Bridge Over Troubled Water closer this is oft overlooked and overshadowed by Elvis’s Memphis recordings but it’s the most adult and contemporary he ever sounded.

Well this is immense! Combining a 1963 song recorded for Viva Las Vegas, instrumental music from the ‘68 comeback and a 1969 Memphis track with new instruments this shouldn’t work but it’s magnificent; a perfect mix of blues, gospel, soul and kitsch. It’s Elvis! youtu.be/j4M1gnkJpvQ?...

Before 1977 music was my Dad’s Jim Reeves records and my Mum’s 60’s pop idols. Then I heard Elvis and music became something to cherish, to collect and to enjoy. No matter what modern music I might flirt with, I always come back home. Happy 91st Birthday Elvis!

Without Sam Phillips the world would have been all the poorer. Tiny ripples in a tiny Memphis studio that changed the world forever. Here’s to his 100th birthday!

Just found this in my folders, signed by Scotty and DJ when they did a UK tour in the 90s, was a great gig.

I’d been an Elvis and Beatles fan for a few years by the spring of 1981 but like the Grease craze when I was 9 they were the past. Then I heard this and suddenly the music I liked was in the here and now. Thanks Shaky for almost 45 years of joy. youtu.be/dRvcrWGUmR4?...

It’s official, a weekend without Joel’s dulcet tones and the @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Sunday service is more depressing than the lack of premier league football for the dreaded international break. Both at the same is a formidable challenge I may not survive.

When I first heard Elvis almost 50 years ago, this was the album my parents had. Initially ineligible for the charts due to TV advertising and budget pricing it’s one of the 10 biggest selling albums of the 70s. This early blue label pressing courtesy of @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social go follow him.

The trials and tribulations of charity shop searching part 1. Thought I’d found a nice copy of Piledriver, grabbed in a hurry with a few other Quo albums but the sleeve contained an Italian pressing of On The Level. So now have an empty Piledriver sleeve and a sleeveless On The Level. £1 well spent!
