Just like most of 70 Elvis' albums. Cindy cindy, If I were you, and Heart of Rome are my favorite ones. Got my Mojo Working is a good See See Rider-type of rocker. lol

This was the third album to feature songs that Elvis recorded at the "Nashville Marathon" of June, 1970. As the third album, it's not quite as good as the previous two, but it does feature some strong material. Okay, "This is Our Dance" stinks, but the rest of the album is good. Strangely, the album opens with "Love Letters", which Elvis had already recorded back in 1966. The story goes that pianist David Briggs was never satisfied with his playing on the original version, so he talked Elvis into rerecording the song. The original version is better, to my taste. My personal favorites here are "Got My Mojo Working" and "Cindy, Cindy". Elvis fans should enjoy this CD.

THE MAN SHOWS HERE THAT HE CAN DO THE BALLADS BETTER THAN THE BEST OF THEM.WHILE THIS CD WAS NOT AS COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL AS HIS PREVIOUS CDS IT CERTAINLY HAD A LOT OF HEART AND SOUL.IT IS WORTH THE PRICE FOR (GOT MY MOJO WORKING)ALONE,BUT THE REST OF THE SONGS FLOW TOGETHER AND COMPLIMENT ONE ANOTHER JUST FINE.OFTEN IMITATED BUT NEVER EQUALLED,ELVIS IS THE KING
