Moody Blue

Released

The last Elvis Presley album to be released during his lifetime, Moody Blue is superficially a mess, combining six tracks recorded at Graceland in February and October 1976 (he stopped going to recording studios in 1975) with four live tracks from 1974 — “Let Me Be There,” the same recording used for Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis — and 1977. The performances (vocal and musical: his bands continued to kick ass) are uniformly good, though, and include a surprising live version of the doo-wop chestnut “Little Darlin’”, a dramatic take on Johnny Ace’s “Pledging My Love,” and a widescreen version of George Jones’s “She Thinks I Still Care.”
