39 years ago, Elvis Aaron Presley fell from the throne... Elvis Presley
(1935-1977)
Delen
Elvis Presley mag dan de belangrijkste persoon zijn in de Amerikaanse populaire muziek van de 20e eeuw, maar daarmee is hij nog niet de beste en zeker niet de meest consistente. Niemand kan echter ontkennen dat deze muzikant het meest verantwoordelijk is geweest voor de groei van de internatational populariteit van rock & roll. Zijn muziek uit de vijftiger jaren legde de basis voor rock & roll; zijn explosieve en seksuele uitstraling tijdens optredens werden standaards voor het visuele imago van de muziek; zijn stem was ongelooflijk krachtig en veelzijdig. Ten tijde van zijn dood zag het merendeel van het publiek hem helaas als een symbool van Amerikaans overgewicht en niet als een cultureel vernieuwer. ~ Richie Unterberger Vergelijkbare artiesten

“Since I was two years old, all I knew was gospel music. It became such a part of my life, it was as natural as dancing. A way to escape my problems, and my way of release.” Elvis fans are well aware of their idol’s veneration for gospel. Fans who are always willing to expand their already XXXL music library. Even when the attempt ostensibly looks like a cash grab… This Where No One Stands Alone celebrates the King’s gospel side. Produced by Joel Weinshanker, Lisa Marie Presley and Andy Childs, the album released in August 2018 features re-orchestrated versions performed with artists who worked with Elvis on stage or in studio, like Darlene Love (who sang with him for the first time during the NBC TV special in 1968) and Dr Cissy Houston (who, along with the Sweet Inspirations, performed with the King on stage from 1969). Where No One Stands Alone also includes a duo with his daughter Lisa Marie Presley on the eponymous song. “It was a very powerful and moving experience to sing with my father, she writes in the album’s sleeve notes. The lyrics speak to me and touch my soul. I'm certain that the lyrics spoke to my father in much the same way.” Also featured are some classics so dear to the King, like Crying In The Chapel, How Great Thou Art, You’ll Never Walk Alone and Saved composed by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, as well as So High, Stand By Me, In The Garden and the indispensable Amazing Grace. Titles for the most part borrowed from two gospel albums, How Great Thou Art released in 1967 and He Touched Me in 1972. Concretely, only the King’s voice was retained. The parts with the Jordanaires, guitarists Scotty Moore, Chip Young and James Burton, Floyd Cramer’s piano and D. J. Fontana’s drums were all scrapped. For those who know the original recordings, it’s a painful amputation. Even upsetting… Yet the work offered here is honest and doesn’t distort the King’s initial intention nor the spirit of his interpretations. Quite logically, this 2018 production brings a “contemporary” touch without vainly and hypocritically trying to remain young and modern. The master’s voice remains intact and staggering as ever. The union between the King and the Lord could only be divine… © Max Dembo/Qobuz

Christmas day is every day for Elvis fans! As if the royal archives were a well that never dries up. If you thought they’d about run out of unpublished material, Legacy Recordings are out with new rarities like a magician playing some sort of bunny-in-the-hat trick. On the menu of Summer 2019, this wild Live 1969, a giant box set (216 tracks!) celebrating the 50 years of Elvis’ concerts at the Las Vegas International Hotel. After eight years in the shadows, the King was back on stage for 57 sold out concerts! During one of these shows, he was backed by the Imperials and the Sweet Inspirations for backing vocals, and musician-wise, a large orchestra as well as a group which would become the TCB Band later on. This is when he would sing the mythical Suspicious Minds for the first time live. Live 1969 includes 11 complete sets, of which four are complete for the first time, and two are never-before published, those from August 22nd and 25th). You’d have to be afflicted with serious Elvisitis to listen through the 13 hours and 15 minutes of these performances. But this series of concerts is mythical, since it surfs off of From Elvis in Memphis, the album which had been published two months earlier in June 1969. In January of the same year, the King, losing steam, had joined the American Sound Studios with producer Chips Moman to put his resurrection on tape, with this total country-soul masterpiece. It would prove one of the high points of his studio career, on which his voice reaches previously unheard heights. All of his technique is there! His vocal range is impressive and the instrumentation as well as the production are breathtaking. It’s an essential 15th album which was concluded by the heart-wrenching In The Ghetto. This Live 1969 boxset proves that the King’s royal comeback was also royal on stage. Even in his later hits from the end of the 50s, Presley, who was then 34 years old, delivers stellar performances. During the summer of 1969, the planet might have been twisting and shouting the sound of amplified rock & roll like never heard before (the Woodstock festival took place during that same month), but Elvis fancied playing the classy, classical crooner. Timeless, above the rabble. Way high up above. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
