Some portions of the review:
- "Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #190 on the “500 Greatest Albums of all Time” list."
- " I love these songs so much because I’ve loved this style of music for as long as I can remember, and it connects me to my dad. Music is at its most powerful and most enjoyable when we have an emotional connection to it"
- "I really don’t think there are any weak songs on this album. Every track is unique and masterfully arranged, and managed to hold my attention, which is a feat in itself!"
- "The absolute highlight for me is the album’s chilling closer ‘In the Ghetto’ which always gives me goosebumps. Released as a single, this became Elvis’s biggest hit since 1965. I liked this album more with each listen and I think it has something for everyone."

In other Elvis Presley news, a Las Vegas resort that once hosted the king of rock n' roll has taken a step toward redevelopment by getting a $300 million investment. Maybe Elvis will drop by for a martini by the pool.
