5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Remember..., June 3, 2005

This review is from: Good Times (Audio CD)

that "Good Times" was released as an album in 1974. To fully contextualize Elvis' song selections in the '70's (not Ernst Jorgensen's, with all due respect), one should own "Good Times". It is, along with "Promised Land" (the original and not the reissue) and "From Elvis Presley Boulevard", one of my favorite Elvis studio releases. It is a revealing look at the pain that Elvis was feeling at that point in his life ("Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues", "Take Good Care Of Her") while still rocking with "Talk About the Good Times" and "I've Got A Feeling In My Body". Buy "Good Times" - you won't be disappointed.

I am writhing this review mainly because of the unfair review below. It is unfair to rate an album based on the fact most of the other tracks can be found elsewhere.

Yes, 8 of the 10 tracks might be available on the reissue of "Promised Land" as bonus tracks and yes, it's better to buy that. By all means mention that in your review, but the rating should still be for the musical content of the record. This album is a great set. 5 Stars from me for great music.

"Talk about the good times" is a belter. A mix of gospel, country and boogie woogie. Elvis is really into his performance here and his voice is in fine form.

This album has a huge religious feel and while i like some religious singers, I love religious music twice as much when Elvis is singing it.

I agree anyone who had sence would by the edition of "Promised Land" with the 8 bonus tracks from this CD, but the songs are great and I have rated based on that.

Thank you very much!
