New Music Tuesday - Elvis!

Well, I picked up this truly amazing Elvis CD, Tiger Man.

It is a compilation of the two live sets Elvis did for his 1968 Comeback special. Elvis is having a great time through all of these numbers, fumbling lyrics, starting over, cracking jokes. The crowd does, indeed, go wild.

This is such fun, and musically alive. I played it for my co-workers in the morning (stopping the CD before the two Christmas songs - they would not have been well received at this time of year I fear), and everyone was either singing along, or laughing. We were all in a great mood.

As an added bonus, Elvis looks amazing in the cover photos - I love that tight, black leather suit. Oh, yeah.
