Elvis Presley was perceived as a country music newcomer in 1954, albeit an unorthodox one. In later years, regardless of how much pop fluff and insipid movie fare he recorded, country remained a vital touchstone. This generously programmed collection (including five previously unissued alternate takes) serves as a powerful reminder. It begins with the Sun recordings of "I Forgot to Remember to Forget " and "Blue Moon of Kentucky " and samples Elvis's rocking, early RCA versions of beloved country tunes "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again " and his childhood favorite, "Old Shep. " Elvis drew from all over the spectrum, covering Eddy Arnold's 1947 hit, "I'll Hold You in My Heart, " along with the later "Green, Green Grass of Home, " "Help Me Make It Through the Night, " and "He'll Have to Go. " A newer country cover, of Jerry Reed's "Guitar Man, " returned him to the hard-rocking style that many feared he'd abandoned. By drawing from across the board, this set offers a vital look at an often-underappreciated side of Presley.
