Music reviews of Alternate Aloha

Music Review: A more personal show than that of the televised live concert
Rating: 5 Stars

Even though these are the same songs he performed in the televised concert, you just can't have too many versions of Elvis recordings of songs such as Something (a song George Harrison wrote and performed with the Beatles), the downright steamy Steamroller Blues, Frank Sinatra's signature song My Way, Hound Dog, American Trilogy, A Big Hunk O'Love, and Suspicious Minds (his last number one hit). Special treats come in the form of the Hank Williams classic I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (which Elvis calls the saddest song he had ever heard), Blue Suede Shoes, the absolutely smoking Fever, Welcome to My World, It's Over, and the show-stopping final climax song Can't Help Falling In Love.

Along with this classic live dress rehearsal recording, you also get three recordings from late, late recording sessions: Blue Hawaii, Hawaiian Wedding Song, and KU-U-I-PO. There are significant amounts of down time, discussions about the tracks, and a little bit of fooling around in these three tracks, offering yet another revealing glimpse at the true Elvis Presley. Even if you own the actual televised concert, I think The Alternate Aloha is more than worthy of any Elvis fan's attention.
