Music reviews of Elvis Ultimate Gospel
Music Review: Definitive : No One Does it Better
Rating: 4 Stars
While the more expansive "I Believe" Set is the way to go if you are a serious collector of Elvis Gospel recordings, this is the one you need if you want a comprehensive, yet not overwhelming, collection of gospel songs from Elvis' long career. The 3-CD "Peace in the Valley" is pretty stuffed with goodies as well, but the song selection on this album should satisfy most listeners. Completists however, might want to look at the two albums I've just mentioned.
Elvis as a gospel singer isn't the first thing that he brings to mind, but I was just ten when I heard his swing version of "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" and was just amazed at how good it sounded. This was a person who could infuse a sense of fun and solemnity into any of his so-called 'devotional' songs, and even if he's singing a traditional Christian classic, he manages to make it fresh and interesting. To such an extent that this album can be listened to in one sitting without ever getting boring or tedious.
Personal favorites include the opener "How Great thou Art" as its the most humble song on here, and his rendition of it is classic. The same can be said of the poignant "Who Am I?". If the leather-coat wearing, hip-swiveling Elvis is all you're used to, this side of him will come as a huge surprise. What is especially interesting is that he is actually a very gifted vocalist - one who can do amazing things with that deep register. He isn't a superb singer, i.e Jeff Buckley, but he works well with what hes got.
Four Stars. A Great Compilation.
Description of Elvis Ultimate Gospel
Revised with 2 significant tracks and artwork not previously included. When Elvis was growing up, the Presley family attended the First Assembly Of God church in Tupelo and subsequently in Memphis. Elvis's music was greatly influenced by attending these churches, but reglious music came to Elvis in many shapes and forms. Religious songs were often part of the repertoire for country stars on the Grand Ol' Opry - a syndicated radio Nashville broadcast that the Presley's almost always tuned into on Saturdays. As a teen, Elvis and his friends would sneak into churches in the black neighborhoods to catch the lively music of a different musical heritage. The welcoming congregation and uplifting sound opened up Elvis's understanding of the multiple facets of reglious music. ULTIMATE GOSPEL provides testament to Elvis's musical excellence and acknowledges the priceless contribution of the talented songwriters, musicians and producers involved.Christian & Gospel CDs
