Artist: Elvis Presley
Song: "All I Needed Was the Rain"
[ listen ]
What could I possibly say about Elvis Presley that 500 million screaming fans don't already know?—aside from mentioning that Elvis and I both ate at this restaurant in the small town of Kalama, WA—he way back in 1962 and I way back in March. I usually pass over the vast bin of Elvis Presley records found at every used record store, figuring there's not much there for me to discover. I'm wrong, of course, since he's got lots of great songs I've never heard before... like these two here. According to notes on the back of this 1969 LP, it had been previously released on Camden Records, and this pressing was made from the RCA Corporation's masters.
