The movies that he was churning out were moneymakers but there was nothing satisfying about them at all. So when Steve Binder came ...
...the words of his manager, Elvis went ahead and did it anyway. From that moment on, the King was back.

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.

Early in Elvis's career he would have like to have been taken seriously as an actor, but with manager Colonel tom Parker signing Elvis up for million dollar movie contracts stating that 'his boy was going to sing' Elvis had no choice but to go along with what his fans wanted. They wanted to hear him sing. the unscrupulous Colonel Tom Parker sensed that money was to be made and in order for him to receive his wages he persuaded Elvis to commit himself to a movie contract.

In 1968... Read review
