What turned out to be Elvis Presley’s final Nashville session brought music that was originally overlooked. The original recordings found their way on the holiday-themed Elvis Sings the Wonderful World of Christmas (1971), the gospel He Touched Me(1972), Elvis Now (1972), and Elvis(1973). Yet, to hear this music, a half-century after it was recorded – now wiped of overdubs – reveals some of the most compelling singing of Presley’s career. There may not be a better set of tracks in his catalog that benefits more from un-dubbing the masters. No longer weighed down, Elvis shines. Available on 2 LPs.
