Elvis Presley I Sing All Kinds (CD)

(Culture Factory) 28 tracks - digisleeve

In honor of the 45th anniversary of the death of the King of Rock'n'Roll, a new edition of albums with only alternative tracks will be released in 2022. Directed by Jean-Marie Pouzenc, president of the fan club "Elvis My Happiness", this collection has been completely remastered and pressed on vinyl replica CD.

The title of this album, released on vinyl in 2019, is a quote from Elvis himself, in response to a question from Marion Keisker of Memphis Recording Service. She asked him, "What kind of singer are you?" and Elvis simply replied, "I sing all kinds." And that is exactly what this album reflects. In addition to the tracks that appeared on the vinyl version, it includes twelve bonus tracks that show not only how versatile the King was, but also the immense possibilities of this unique voice, which moves with equal confidence between rock'n'roll and gospel, classical and country music, and from ballads to blues. Gregory Sandows, professor of music at Columbia University, says, "This is the most unusual voice I've ever heard!"
