For all its imperfections, 'Wild In The Country' is a very watchable reminder of a road not taken and of a promise Elvis was never allowed to fulfil.

Personally I have always reckoned that Elvis was at the top of his vocal powers in AD 1960. He had superb vocal control and exceptional range and he had improved vocally at least from the rawness (albeit a very very appealing rawness) of the 1950's. This is a tremendous collection of stunning ballads and the rocking 'I slipped I stumbled I fell'. The outtakes are interesting and I haven't got tired of listening to 27 versions of 5 songs. Interestingly 'Husky Dusky Day' also appears and though very short (50 seconds) it is quite an amusing little ditty sung in duet with the lovely Hope Lang. One of the best FTD releases by far!

"Look guys, if you're just going to stare at me, I'm going to bed." -Elvis Presley Whether he'd like it now or not, nearly 33 years after his death, people from all walks of life are still staring at the man.

FTD will release Elvis Now a 2 CD set in the classic albums series along with their fourth 12" vinyl release, Jailhouse Rock, a special limited vinyl edition with a bonus disc of out-takes on April 1st.
