Valentine Gift For You Reviews
Happy Valentine's Day
This CD was released back in the early days of CDs and is long out of print. It is a compilation that has a "love songs" theme. Of course, most of the songs that Elvis recorded were love songs, so they had a lot to choose from. To their credit, they avoided using too many of the most obvious choices. The only really well known songs here are "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and "Can't Help Falling in Love". They instead chose to feature some of his great lesser known songs like "Love Letters" and "Tomorrow is a Long Time". This is a worthwhile CD, and if you can find a cheap used copy, it is well worth the money.
a great album
To me this is one of the best elvis albums to come out in a long time
A Solid Collection
This CD would rate 5 stars were it not for the availability of the songs here on the essential 50's and 60's box sets. (Liner notes would have been nice, too.) Still, if you don't have a lot of dough, this is worth owning for Mr. Presley's version of the Bob Dylan song "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" alone.
RCA was never at a loss repackaging Elvis Presley material even during the King's lifetime--and it's only accelerated since his death. This 1985 compilation of '50s and '60s ballads, both bluesy and soft, comes from a period when the label was assembling theme compilations, the concept behind this one obviously being love. And it covers all those contradictory Presley bases--that is, love in all its forms--from raw sex ("Fever," "It Feels So Right") to rejection (the wonderful "I Was the One," "Are You Lonesome Tonight?") to his stock-in-trade sincere tenderness (a majority of the tracks here, including, of course, the obligatory "Can't Help Fallin' in Love"). "Fame and Fortune" remains one of his greatest post-Army ballads, and his underrated version of Kitty Lester's "Love Letters" matches the original--but the major buzz at the time of this release was the inclusion here of Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," previously available only as a bonus cut on the dreadful
Spinout!
soundtrack. As Dylan related to an interviewer, this is the cover version of his own material that he has "treasured the most."
