Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Nashville, Tennessee between March 20, 1960 and April 4, 1960

The album marks something of a crossroads in The King's career. Whereas such tracks as "Make Me Know It" are of a piece with the kind of pelvis-grinding, R&B-informed tracks that made Elvis a star in the mid-to-late '50s. Dirty, Dirty Feeling" and "It Feels So Right" showed Elvis could still rock out and challenge authority and propriety, while "Reconsider Baby" and "Like a Baby" offer some of his best blues performances; but "The Thrill of Your Love" (a very gospel-tinged number), "Soldier Boy," "Girl of My Best Friend," and "Girl Next Door Went a' Walking," also displayed the rich, deep vocalizing that would challenge critics' expectations of Elvis Presley playing rhythm guitar throughout. He also comes off better here than on any of his other albums since his arrival at RCA, as a musician as much as a "star" (he'd always had a lot more to say about running his sessions than the critics who loathed his RCA years indicated)

Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
