Part One: The IconsWith DETOURS, the PopMatters staff is celebrating the strange, bizarre, lovely, and funny albums that have emerged from an artist’s desire to try something different. Some of these detours have lead to modern-day classics. Some have lead to laugh-inducing commercial disasters. And others... others are just plain weird. [28 July 2008] Reviews
Elvis Presley : From Elvis in Memphis: Legacy EditionHot on the heels of the phenomenal success of his so called "'68 Comeback Special", Elvis Presley made one of the smartest moves of his career by returning to Memphis to record an album. [13 August 2009] 
Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley Christmas DuetsIt's an endearing, even if slightly hokey, collection that draws from both the secular and religious musical canons. [4 December 2008] 
Elvis Presley: Elvis: Viva Las VegasAn essential document of some of the King's strongest Vegas-era recordings, featuring more soul than schmaltz. [20 September 2007] 
Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley- The Ed Sullivan Shows [DVD]This set of all three complete Sullivan telecasts on which Presley appeared captures Elvis's point of entry into mainstream American consciousness. And, in context, it's easy to see just why he made such a splash. [18 December 2006] |
