ELVIS PRESLEY "king creole-soundtrack" 1958, vinyl(not the original but a reissue in 1977) #2 US, #1 UK
this is the album/soundtrack that accompanied the film of the same name, it was Presley's fourth movie and final one before he was drafted into the US Army in the same year. his draft was delayed as he was given permission to complete the picture.
of the eleven tracks here,with a running time of twenty six minutes, only two do not get the full marks, this is because they do not have a life of their own outside the movie IMO.
the album is a mix of rock 'n' roll, soothing ballads and Dixieland Jazz and is nothing short of 1950s rock at its finest, sung by a man who was at the top of his game and a movie of equal stature
worst track: steadfast,loyal and true
best track: 'dixieland rock' or 'new orleans'
