Elvis Rocks, and this sound track always brings up great memories and some good songs and some why did Elvis let others choice the songs? Incredibly, this is the first time the original 1966 soundtrack to Elvis' twentieth movie has been released as a seperate CD. The sound quality on the CD is quite good considering it's from a 50-year-old film, although this is the first time I've heard this album so I can't say how the remastering compares to the original version.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. And it's just one of three exceptionally fine ballads, one of which, of course, was the successful B-side of "Frankie And Johnny". Start with the cover which is exactly the same as the original. The title tune was remade for records and it's a gas: the funnest version of the old folk song I've ever heard - Presley really projects his voice (at a time when he was known to croon through the tunes). Often, the arrangements of these songs are not ideal, and Elvis was not in the best voice during these sessions either. Here we have Elvis present a new approach on the New Orleans sound, a far cry from "King Creole".
