• Tomorrow Is a Long Time by Elvis Presley

Format: Best of

Release Date: 13-07-1999

Details: Amazon.ca Assembled from tracks Elvis Presley recorded in Nashville between 1966 and '68, this, like the similar Such a Night, is an album that probably should have been, but because it was the policy of his label and his management to scatter Presley's non-soundtrack '60s recordings out as singles, bonus tracks, and additions to low-budget compilations, it never happened--until now. Instead of rougher alternate takes, these are finished masters, many of which will be recognizable to Presley fans. The material here is a mix of tunes supplied by the star's publishing company and selections he wanted to record. Jerry Reed, who plays guitar on several tunes, is also represented as a songwriter via two highlights, "Guitar Man" and the similarly fast-talking "U.S. Male." Another Reed, bluesman Jimmy, gets his due in a cover of "Big Boss Man." The soaring, almost religious "Indescribably Blue" points in the direction that Elvis would follow--often with unfortunate results--for the rest of his career. Overall, Tomorrow provides a revealing look at Presley's studio recordings during his pre-comeback period. --Robert Baird Product Description These 1966-1968 recordings have never been grouped together, so chalk this up as another album that should have been, but wasn't-until now! His hits Love Letters; Big Boss Man; U.S. Male , and Indescribably Blue are here with the Bob Dylan-penned title song and 13 more tracks!
