A record of Elvis, produced in Tennessee. What's so special about it, when everyone knows that the truck driver from the south already sobbed his first songs through the local radio? But "Elvis in Memphis" is much more than one of about 40 albums released by the Rock'n'Roll king in three and a half decades. "It's characteristic," enthused the otherwise cautious New York Times, "for perhaps the most impressive comeback in the history of pop music.
What happened? In 1969, after 14 years of a steep career in film and show business and an unprecedented PR campaign, Elvis returned to his hometown and recorded these songs which are stylistically reminiscent of the Sun Records times of the 50s. In addition to the elaborately enriched mixes of pop and blues ("Power Of My Love") and country sound ("I'm Movin On"), "In The Ghetto" is the chart- and heart-breaking hit of an entire generation.Review
