"Hound Dog"
Elvis Presley

Every performance on the record is perfect and the recording is as good as contemporary equipment would allow. By no means is this Elvis at his vocal best but it is certainly an excellent representation of what Elvis meant in the '50s. What made the record legendary was the coupling of Hound Dog with probably one of the best Popular Musical performances ever on the flip side. Because of modern music release policy, Hound Dog / Don't Be Cruel will probably never be matched. |
