Review Summary: the start of something unforgettable
Elvis Presley's debut was a start of something special. Elvis Presley was really influenced by African American music. Since Elvis Presley was singing in church choirs at a young age, he became more and more experienced with his clear crisp vocal delivery, Elvis Presley decided to cover songs from his most influential artists as being a birthday gift for his mother. Elvis Presley portrayed his talent with entertainment, energy and charisma. Elvis Presley was going to be the big deal and the ultimate heartthrob of the 1950's. It was only the begging but only to be characterized with an incredible legacy that will be never forgotten. RCA Victor pick the right guy at the right time.
On the opening track called Blue Suede Shoes.. which it was originally by Carl Perkins. Elvis Presley provided more of an energetic twist on the song, It starts off the album very smoothly and fun throughout the whole album. On tracks like I'm Counting On You, I Got A Woman, I Love You Because and Blue Moon, showcases his pure angelic voice, with amazing melodies and a gospel edge that his vocals are such an enjoyment or an authentic warmth to your ears. Elvis Presley can really mix his emotions, with tons of heartfelt passion mixed with fun balanced rockabilly. So every track is perfectly harmonized, no matter what style or energy he connects us with. For the original recordings, it didn't have the pure velocity that Elvis had. Elvis Presley's music is described as a mixture of blues, soul, gospel, country and rockabilly.. His vocals were at the time very versatile and powerful. Not only his vocals, but his timeless energy and stage presence.. he presented in his recordings.
The production is settled really nicely, you can hear the acoustic guitars play really peacefully, it's smooth, emotional and it also provides more of a creative variety with the high energetic songs. the drums and bass showcase a value to them. It shows a beautiful pace of soulful rhythms and timing, it becomes more and more repeatable for many listens. The piano is very melodic but it creates a lovable atmosphere, it really shows a perception with Elvis Presley's seductive vocal structures. His whole band shows a fine dynamic thrill for a classic Rock 'n' Roll record.
