Free Music Notes for How Great Thou ArtFree Music Review: CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!! Hit: 5 StarsI'm so addicted to this CD it isn't funny.I know when most people think of Elvis Presley they think of Rock N'Roll, but he was a very talented and versatile entertainer and did manage to do some spirituals as well. This one in particular is my favourite, and I like to play it when I'm dressing for work in the morning and this allows the music to stay in my head right through the day. Sung with deep devotion with that smooth velvet voice; I just cannot resist:- 1.Somebody Bigger Than You and I 2.Farther Along 3.Stand By Me 4.If The Lord Wasn't Walking By My Side 5.Where No One Stands Alone and the beat goes on. I love this CD and recommend it for those who have not tried the spiritual side of Elvis. A wonderful gift for a friend!!! Heather P. Marshall
Free Music Review: Buy It For the "Storms of Life" Hit: 5 StarsThis album of gospel standards, earnestly and expertly delivered by Elvis, has helped me immensely to cope with the grief I experienced when my both of my parents passed away (9 years apart). Listening to the beautiful "Stand By Me" never fails to bring a tear to my eye, even when I've not just recently experienced a personal trauma. Other highlights are "In the Garden," "Farther Along," "Where Could I Go But To The Lord" and "Where No One Walks Alone." If you're even a casual Elvis fan I would recommend buying this album of "spiritual salve" if you will to help you through the "storms of life" that we're all bound to encounter.
Free Music Review: His best work! Hit: 5 StarsThis album is Elvis' best album ever. Inspiring.
Free Music Review: How Great Thou Art Hit: 5 StarsI loved this album so much when I bought it the first time that I wore it out. It is one of his best albums.
Free Music Review: A Standout Presley album of the 1960s. Hit: 4 StarsA well-produced, well-crafted album released in the midst of many poorly mixed formula (movie soundtrack) offers of the period. From the first few bars of the (opening) title song the listener sits forward, sensing that something significant is happening in his/her listening experience. His performance on that track and many others should be heard by all music enthusiasts. I decline from delivering 5 stars because despite the tasteful A & R and the flawless arranging Elvis' does not sound as energetic as on previous and future Gospel recordings, especially on the uptempo tunes: he seems to defer to the other singers and musicians on a these numbers. Ofcourse the material has deep meaning for him and is handled in a very respectful way. I just sense a slight tentativeness in his approach, perhaps due to a certain self-consciousness with regard to the placement of the record among the above-mentioned Hollywood entries.
