Rock and roll energy and country soul!
The King pours his rock and roll energy and his country-roots soul into each one of these classic songs. This is a superb album, one of Elvis' best. Two of my favorites are the jam session gems "A Hundred Years from Now" (in which the King proves he could've been a fine bluegrass wailer) and "Got my Mojo Working", along with the lively "I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water". Elvis also treats us to better-than-the-original versions of "There Goes My Everything" and "Snowbird". All in all a great effort, and very highly recommended.


Elvis Country
I had been searching for over 5 years for this on a CD and it brought back so many memories of this wonderful artist of our times!. If you have ever purchased any other Elvis product, this is a must for your collection.


Love Elvis
I listened to it so much I may have worn it out if that is possible. Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old)

When I was much younger I owned this album when it was a 33 1/3 rpm playing record. I bought it again as a casette tape and loved it some more. Now with the cd it is embeded in my puter and I play it in the background and sometimes loud when I am alone. This music has many memories. All the songs are enjoyable and never get old to me. Have fun with this album.

Elvis Revisits His Country Roots
To do this, he and his stalwart producer Felton Jarvis got legendary guitarist James Burton and a cadre of Nashville's finest session guys. Having had a career-saving resurrection in 1968 with the NBC-TV special, and then seeing himself become culturally and musically significant again during 1969 and 1970 with his Memphis recordings, Elvis made it his business to re-enter the studio in the summer of 1970 to revisit his country music roots. The end result, ELVIS COUNTRY, like its Memphis-based predecessors, was a milestone in the King's career and a big seller to boot.

But even as Elvis was making a trip back to the country of country, with standards like "Funny How Time Slips Away", "Tomorrow Never Comes", and "Make The World Go Away", he did so in a way that could never be mistaken for anyone other than him. With snippets of the folk song "I Was Born 10,000 Years Ago" spliced between the tracks (and the complete version rounding out the piece), ELVIS COUNTRY sees the King take on these Music Row standards, and newer songs like "It's Your Baby (You Rock It)", with what he had learned from having gone back to Memphis instead of all those years spent in Hollywood purgatory or on the old Nashville assembly line.

In short, there's a distinct R&B influence in there. And the best example of this is on Elvis' version of the Eddy Arnold favorite "I Really Don't Want To Know", with its bluesy band sound and use of horns. The man did not limit himself to simple genre conventions or restrictions when he was at his best, and that commitment is very much in evidence on that song, which just narrowly missed hitting the Top 20 in February 1971. Elvis also gave his all on a passionate reading of "There Goes My Everything" and the gospel-influenced "Where Did They Go, Lord?"

I did find the intrusion of "10,000 Years" in-between the songs somewhat irritating (hence the four-star, as opposed to five-star, rating). Even so, ELVIS COUNTRY is one of the best things the King ever did, particularly during the 1970s. Between the '68 NBC special and the '73 ALOHA FROM HAWAII spectacular, Elvis made some of the most important music of his entire life, including here; and it's important that he be remembered for that kind of commitment more than the terrible, drugged-out Las Vegas self-parody the Colonel made him out to be in his last years. ELVIS COUNTRY, in short, comes very highly recommended.


"I'm 10,000 Years Old" Is an Excellent album
Its great album. What more can be said than what has already been. . from the first track to the last. Plus it comes with bonus tracks that weren't part of the album's original release back in the 70's and the sound has been digitally remastered.
