The twenty-fifth album: #25 Elvis Presley - Elvis is Back!

Elvis is back indeed, in this case from his two year military service. His music still sounds like fairly tame rock n roll to me, compared to what we got later, but these songs sounded more sensual and enticing for sure. It's almost a bit more grown up as well, and it's good to see an evolution that seems to be happening here.

Musically, it sounds good, nicely varied throughout the album to give several different types of songs - sometimes more of a ballad, others swinging a lot. It also sounds like Elvis was happy to be back in the studio recording songs, there are moments where he seems to be having fun and enjoying the process. It makes the album a delight to listen to.
