10. Little Cabin on the Hill

“If you’re an Elvis fan (and even if you’re not), this is a great CD with a lot of tracks that I haven’t heard him sing before. The sweet voice of Elvis…. how can you go wrong with this CD!!”

9. Tomorrow Never Comes

“”Elvis Country” stills stands with the best of the country rock albums to emerge from the late-’60s-mid-’70s heyday of the genre, and it puts the lie to the idea that Elvis did nothing worthwhile in his last decade on Earth (notice I didn’t say “alive”… I kinda dig the Men in Black theory, lol).”

8. I Really Don’t Want to Know

7. Funny How Time Slips Away

“The sound alternates between loud and soft and he gets the vocal intonations just right. He sounds wistful on the old Willie Nelson tune, “Funny How Time Slips Away.””

6. There Goes My Everything

“Like several other great records he made throughout his career, “Elvis Country” has received the ‘Legacy Treatment,’ featuring stunning digitally remastered sound as well as several bonus tracks cut around the same time period.”

5. It’s Your Baby You Rock It

“Coming hot off the wheels of a hugely successful run in Vegas that August, Elvis ventured off to Nashville to cut “Elvis Country,” a semi-concept record that harkened back to his roots at Sun while placing them in a distinctly modern sound. The result was one of his very best records, as well as his last great accomplishment in the studio.”

4. Make the World Go Away

“Elvis picked tunes that both suited and highlighted his deepened voice – Hank Cochran’s string-filled “Make The World Go Away” is a typically good choice”

3. I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water

“This album should make some of those ignorant in the history of music realize that true rock ‘n’ roll-the brand Elvis popularized in the ’50s and continued to master until his death-is really nothing but country with a little gospel and R&B added to the mix.”

2. Faded Love

“What a period Elvis enjoyed from the second half of 1968 through January 1973! This legacy release captures Elvis in the middle of this prolific period and Elvis Country must rank amongst his finest studio albums.”

1. Snowbird

“Elvis Country gets 5 stars every time. Elvis singing the music from his roots, 1970 Elvis was in his prime and it shows with this collection of country masters. recommended to anyone who thought Elvis only did rock n roll.”
