Elvis Presley in the '60s: 1967

'Double trouble', 'Clambake' and the delayed release of 'How great thou art'.

In three sessions (Mach 20, Sept 10-11, Jan 15-17 '68) he cut another 10 underappreciated classics. Just as good as the 1966 tracks: 'Suppose', 'Guitar man', 'Big boss man', 'Hi heel sneakers', 'You don't know me', 'Too much monkey business' (with its great jigsaw acoustic guitar riff), 'US Male'...

1. Suppose
2. Guitar Man/What'd I Say
3. Big Boss Man
4. Mine
5. Just Call Me Lonesome
6. Hi-Heel Sneakers
7. You Don't Know Me
8. Singing Tree
9. Too Much Monkey Business
10. U.S. Male

I'd only repeat myself - in my mind this pre-tv special (dec '68) post-retirement period, scattered as the songs' recording and release may have been, is all linked together. A highpoint in his career. It's all on disc 3 of the box set.

What can the soundtracks put up against that? The title song from 'Double trouble' is big band latin mush about having twice as much trouble as anybody else.
