A Home Run Soundtrack
V. S. | Post Falls, Idaho USA | 06/19/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This soundtrack to the Elvis Presley movie, " G.I. Blues " in my opinion is one of the best! And it is no wonder that it spent over twe years on the Billboard charts! with such great songs as: Tonight Is So Right For Love, Wooden Heart, the title song G.I. Blues, Shoppin Around, with its upbeat lighthearted Rock and Roll sound, the softly sung lullaby, Your Dady Big Boots. And then of course Blue Sueda Shoes, and the list could just go on and on and on! Elvis definitely hit a home run when it comes to the songs that he sang on G.I. Blues! If you do not already have this CD? I can certainly recommend it! And I don't think you'll be disappointed."

"Elvis returns with his his first post-Army soundtrack. Wonderful music and incredible sound. When it was first released in 1960 in was at 10 weeks at #1, and spent 111 weeks on the charts. The top-selling soundtrack album! You know it's essential if you're a true and big Elvis fan like me. You'll be marching along to "Did'ja Ever". The new bonus tracks are a treat for the ears. On "Pocketful of Rainbows" take 2, Elvis stops at the beginning. He says something about his throat and sings a little bit of "Doin' The Best I Can" and says "I'll tell you what: let's try it one more time, and if she meant--I mean, if I crack, well uh--" One of the studio personnel says, "You crack, you got a new world's record. It's 29." Elvis coughs and clears his throat. "I did 60 one time, and the record never came out." They go one with the next take. With rare hearings of behind-the-sessions takes, and great soundtrack "G.I. Blues" is an essential edition to your Elvis library."
