4.0 out of 5 stars Elvis When He Tried, May 19, 2004

This Elvis album was recorded in March 1975. This was the last time RCA Records managed to drag Elvis into a recording studio. Any albums released after this were either live albums, or they were recorded in a makeshift studio in Elvis' own house. Elvis had lost his love for recording at this point. He recorded the bare minimum number of songs required for this album, and did far less takes than he usually did. He used to be a perfectionist who would perform a song over and over until it was pefect, but by this point he would just perform a song a few times until it was "close enough". Despite that, the album is still pretty good. There isn't a bad song here, especially compared to some of the junk Elvis recorded for his film soundtracks. "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" is my personal favorite here, but all the songs have something to offer. I recommend this album to Elvis fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most underrated of Elvis's 70's studio albums!, July 3, 2000

Hello, By far, this album happens to be the most underrated Of Elvis's 70's studio albums. Why? I'm not really sure, because it's one of his best. Recorded at RCA's Hollywood studios in March of 1975, this album would represent his last attempt at recording in a full-fledged studio. Elvis is at ease while singing the mixture of Rock, Country, and Ballad-like tunes. T-R-O-U-B-L-E is the shining star from this album. It is his best rocker since his Sun days, and the pulsating tempo , along with his voice, doesn't miss a beat for even a moment. The romantic ballad And I Love You So is sung beautifully, while the Gospel tune Shake A Hand makes you jump out of your seat and clap your hands. The upbeat I Can Help is sung with the typical Elvis drawl included, and Bringin' It Back is an extraordinary country ballad sung with real feeling. This is one album that's a must for all Elvis fans, and even those that listen to him with a little less gusto. There's something for everyone to listen to in this album!
