I have to say that I Drove ...I can understand that. I have to say that I Drove all Night is probably the best track on the new CD as I said it wasn't one of my favourites but I do enjoy the newer version, it much more dramatic. The other songs don't seem quite so different.<br />I used to be a great Elvis fan but not so much his earlier stuff, it was Cliff & The Shadows I liked better. However I loved the stuff he did from GI Blues onwards. I still have the original GI Blues LP. Gorgeous! I really miss having such great tangible stuf we got with LPs. I didn't buy the Elvis & the Philarmonic for some reason. Might have a look for it to check it out. <br />Hope you are well on the road to recovery.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-44415747536992814302018-01-10T14:09:04.270+00:002018-01-10T14:09:04.270+00:00Happy New Year to you & ypur family Jo. How am...Happy New Year to you & ypur family Jo. How amazing that he lived so close to you. He seemed a lovely person not the usual rock star type and it was so sad that he died so young. His music was great and has stood the test of time, what a composer & performer he was.

I'm a massive Elvis fan, but I have to admit I don't really enjoy the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's versions of his hits. This year they released an album of all Elvis's Christmas tracks and gospel songs and I just don't feel they work as as the originals. They all sound a bit cluttered. Saying that, I think I Drove all Night works quite well.
