completists or the curious. These alternate takes, recorded at Memphis' Stax Studios in 1973, saw Presley attempt to fuse southern soul with hard-edged country in a way that would appeal commercially. With many Stax musicians on board there is certainly rhythm, but Elvis's lounge-style crooning disguises much of the country element--even though Tony Joe White supplied two tunes in "I've Got A Thing About You Baby" and "For Ol' Times Sake". He turns on the romantic charm on a good version of "She Wears My Ring" and lets the band rip out on Chuck Berry's "Promised Land". The compilers have also thoughtfully included lots of inter-song chat, which generally serves as a warning about what eating too many cheeseburgers does to the brain. --Tim Perry

10,000 YEARS AGO Review ofElvis Country (Remastered) - Elvis Presleyby
ALLAN
Advantages: Classic 70's Presley Disadvantages: Segmented Title Track
Elvis "Country" Album is one of Presleys best seventies offerings.
It features much under-rated songs such as "It's Your Baby You Rock It" and "Little Cabin On The Hill", though I feel that the re-issue of this album on CD would have benfited by not having segments of "I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago" played in between each track.
The Title track should, I feel, have been featured in full as a separate track.
