Song of the day

Put Your Hand in the Hand

After the brilliant 68 comeback, the Memphis records, and the Nashville marathon sessions of 1970, yielding two great LPs TTWII and Elvis Country, the downhill slide started. I have been a fan of Elvis through my mom since I was born in 1956. I had collected all of Elvis' LPs by 1971, staring in 1968 with Gold Vol 4, my first personal purchase. And in a matter of 3 1/2 years I had every LP from Elvis Presley to Love Letters From Elvis. I suffered through listening to his mostly lousy ST LPs, worst being Frankie and Johnny, Harum Scarum and Kissin' Cousins. I was NOT in the mood for another downturn! Upon getting Elvis Now, I QUIT buying any more Elvis LPs. Later a friend of mine had copies of Fool and Raised On Rock. Upon listening to them, I decided I made the right choice in not buying any Elvis LPs after Elvis Now. I return to the fold with EP Boulevard and Moody Blue, and being a completist, I went back and bought those since Elvis Now. (Good Times being the only decent one in the bunch) So, needless to say, I do not like Put Your Hand In the Hand, and I really never cared for He Touched Me, althoug His Hand In Mine and How Great Thou Art are both stellar.
