  • Overall:

    Good sample of Elvis country stuff

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 21, 2001

    Elvis did so many great country recordings, there would be no way to give most of it on a single CD. RCA did a decent job of selecting these, though I disagree with a few. As, the alternate takes and mixes are good recordings and good for collectors,... but the originals would usually be better for those who don't have them already. I like the original "Guitar Man" much better. Maybe combine this CD with a couple of his original albums such as "Promised Land," "Elvis Country," or "Good Times." And RCA has out a more recent 2-CD set called "Elvis: The Country Collection" that gives a few more songs and doesn't cost much more (though I haven't heard it). But at any rate, this is good as a one-CD collection of Elvis's country songs. Read more Less

  • Overall:

    Rare 1981 Chart Entry on here....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 30, 2000

    For those of us chart fanatics, this CD has come in very handy. In 1981, a Felton Jarvis remix of "Guitar Man" hit #28 on the Hot 100. When this CD was issued, it was next to impossible to find. The rest of the CD is actually mostly superior to this... remix. Elvis was as home with country as with any other format he tried. A great overview with a few alternate takes to lure in the collector. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Great Country Songs

  • All Music Guide

    Great Country Songs compiles 24 of the finest country songs Elvis Presley recorded between 1955 and 1976, from "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" to "Guitar Man." Many familiar performances are available, as are five previously unreleased tracks designed to bait collectors, and the collection does a good job of establishing Elvis' credentials as a country singer, even if it isn't as effective as the blues collection, Reconsider Baby.

Biography

Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in American 20th century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent. But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of ... Read more
