Free Music Notes for Peace In The Valley: The Complete Gospel Recordings
Free Music Review: The Ultimate Elvis Collection - The COMPLETE Gospel Set!
Hit: 5 Stars
This new offering from BMG is one of the most extensive they have released since the Complete 50s Masters. In one single box we get all of the gospel music recorded by Elvis Presley. That means all the great masters such as How Great Thou Art, Milky White Way, He Touched Me, Bosom of Abraham, I Believe, Peace in the Valley, and all the other well known and much loved songs. But that is only one part of this box's appeal. This set also contains concert recordings, music from Elvis' TV Specials and appearances (including Peace in the Valley performed on the Ed Sullivan Show and How Great Thou Art from the 1977 Elvis in Concert Special), backstage [informal] recordings, and home recordings. Some of Elvis' best work on this set is not the finished masters but the "behind the scenes" recordings such as Show Me Thy Ways Oh Lord. Elvis' dedication to this song (and all the home recordings), although not done originally as something for the public, is astonishing. This is also true of the 1950s recordings at Sun (after Elvis was on RCA)with Jerry Lee Lewis and other Sun stars. This is a truly amazing set that all Elvis fans and gospel fans are going to love. You truly miss out if you settle for Amazing Grace (2 cd set) or any of the single gospel CDs. Those are all great - but this is the ultimate gathering of all aspects of Elvis' love and passion for gospel music.Free Music Review: Holy Smokes! This'll get your blood pumping

This collection of Elvis' gospel is a round trip of everything you love about Elvis, and everything you didn't know about Elvis that you're about to love. Imagine loving the songs that you know of Elvis, and then hearing some of these for the first time. Here's an entirely new collection of songs that you may have never known, but you're about to love...many, even more than the ones you love the most. I'll start with my favorite of his: Run On. Wow, what a powerful, jamming song. Teaches you about fearing God behind the backdrop of an absolutely awesome tune that you just wanna CRANK! If the Lord Wasn't Walkin' By My Side....Joshua Fit the Battle....So High...How Great Thou Art...Holy Smokes, Elvis. How Great THOU Art when you sang that tribute to God. I'm moved by this music, and in several different ways. Here's the long and short of it. If you want a little Elvis gospel, don't sell yourself short by getting a 1 CD collection. 11 or 13 songs won't cut it. It's a waste of money. Get this CD collection. So it's $30 more. Big deal. You won't miss the money, but after listening to this collection for a while, you'd be thinking about how much you'd hate yourself had you not shelled out the money to buy this CD collection.Buy it as a gift for every Elvis fan who loves Jesus. You'll be the hero of the day.
5 stars doesn't do it justice.
Free Music Review: Wonderful, but not complete
Hit: 5 Stars
What a wonderful gift to lovers of Elvis's Gospel music! Most of the titles have already been released on other collections, but it is great to have all of these together with excellent liner notes too. Elvis had a wonderful voice which is at it's best when he sings Gospel, as this was the music he loved most. If you have not heard Elvis singing Gospel before, then buy it as it's currently the best overview you will get on CD of his Gospel music.(I trust that you already know of the two volume video "He Touched Me - The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley). If you already enjoy Elvis' Gospel music, then you are going to buy it anyway! I was delighted to see the song "Life" in the collection as it is the Gospel story in a nutshell. Although the album subtitle claims it to be, the set is not the complete Gospel recordings, as it does not contain "Bridge Over Troubled Water" which Paul Simon originaly wrote as a "humble little gospel hymn". Jesus, of course being the bridge over troubled water. Elvis was called to be an evangelist so it is wonderful to see all these songs which tell of the "Good News" now being released. Elvis is no longer with us, but the Holy Spirit is!Free Music Review: Boy, this is fun!

Elvis Presley's gospel recordings are among his best recordings. In fact, the three Grammys that Elvis won were for gospel recordings. This three CD collection features Elvis Presley's "complete" gospel recordings. Of course, it's not actually entirely complete. The Christmas related gospel songs are not included, nor are the many alternate versions of most of the songs here. But they were right to leave those recordings off, we don't need ten versions of "Reach Out To Jesus". So, what is here? Elvis' three gospel albums, the "Peace in the Valley" EP, every other studio gospel recording, a few live performances, some of the Million Dollar Quartet songs, some home recordings and more. The Million Dollar Quartet was Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash having a jam session at Sun Studios (Johnny Cash left before the tapes started rolling). The home recordings feature Elvis singing songs with his friends at home (some of these recordings are of poor sound quality). These CDs feature Elvis at his best. Elvis always put his heart into a gospel song. I highly recommend this collection.Free Music Review: Christmas = Gospel
Hit: 5 Stars
Five stars. The first one for that "Softly and Tenderly" originally performed with Jerry Lee Lewis. Elvis' inspired voice brings joys and faith to those who listen. The second star, for "I Just Can't Make It By Myself". Making the goal clear to everybody.
The third star for "How Great Thou Art" is masterpiece with "Amazing Grace".
The fourth star goes for the gift of this release that brings the following equation (Christmas = Gospel).
If "Seeing is Believin'", earring Elvis' heart trough the music of is soul is finding the way to overcome sadness and tears. Fifth star goes to "You Better Run" and its rhythmic for it talks about real life, our society who will find no peace on earth but "Peace in the Valley" with God children's.
