Legacy Edition Plus 14 Bonus Tracks Incl. 8 B-Sides "Elvis Country", is not really a country album so much as it is a good ol' time rocker.
His touring band, which featured guitar-whiz James Burton, is smokin' here, and they generally keep the tempos at a steady pace. ‘Elvis Country (I’m 10,000 Years Old)’ marked the pinnacle of Presley’s brief artistic renaissance, which began with the 1968 Comeback Special on TV.
Elvis had begun performing in Las Vegas, and on ‘Elvis Country’ you can feel the energy of a professional who is reinvigorated and hungry for an audience. It would be Presley’s last Top 20 album in the United States, until his death in 1977. Disc Two is the 1971 ‘Love Letters From Elvis’ including the rare tracks "If I Were You" and "This Is Our Dance" plus the bonus tracks “The Sound Of Our City”, “Sylvia” and “Rags To Riches”.
