Gospel Favourites - Jim Reeves

Advantages: great listening
Disadvantages: none

...itsef!!. Ok, for those unfortunates who have never heard of Elvis Presley ( is there any????? I'd like to hear from them) he was born in Memphis Tennessee in 1935 an died at the age of 42 in 1977. He is also as far as I am aware, the biggest selling artist of all time. History out of the way, The album. ********************************** On this album we have 55 ( yes!!!55) classic Elvis gospel songs including titles such as: joshua fit the battle..........

Advantages: Amazing Hippie flash backs...
Disadvantages: Sometimes a little TOO Hippie for my liking

...OK, this guy is my favourite artist of the moment. After Seeing the Amazing Key of C video on MTV I got hooked. And I hated all the hippie stuff! But, alas, this is different. All the music is done by Jim himself. His lyrics are amazing and so clever!! The music is also very clever. It's like a mix of the 60's, 70's and now, all mashed up, and stuck in a blender. And it makes the best Music Smoothie! From songs about computers crashing to kicking footballs over fences! I don't think even Jim knows what he created! It's just so different to anything I've ever heard before! My personal Fave songs are Eanie Meanie, Key of C and Computer song. -[Tracklistings]- My Patch I Me You I'm Your Computer Song How To Be So Real Eanie Meany Tower of Love In the Key of C Turbulent Weather Turn Your Frown...

Advantages: Elvis Presley singing some wonderful music
Disadvantages: The tracks have been released and re-released many times over the years

...People often recall Elvis Presley as the early rock 'n' roller in the mid-1950s, or the less rocking star of some (sometimes) decidedly dodgy movies from the 1960s, or as the Las Vegas singer of the 1970s. One style of music which straddles all of these time periods though is gospel. Elvis was always a great lover of gospel music, and often spent hours singing this type of music with his backing singers in his own private time. Elvis' record company, BMG, have spent the last 29 years (since his death) repackaging his recorded material, and still release many CDs each year, collecting together already released material and unreleased material from the archives (this unreleased music is often distributed through their specialist Elvis label FTD - short for 'Follow That Dream' which was the title of one of Elvis' movies from the 1960s...
