Moody Blue (2CD) FTD 123 (506020-975052)

Moody Blue was Elvis' last studio album is, in fact, includes recordings from several 1976 studio sessions and four concert tracks. Also included among the live songs are the Olivia Newton-John hit, 'If You Love Me (Let Me Know)', a pretty silly take on the Gladiolas' 'Little Darlin', and one of Elvis' favorite songs, 'Unchained Melody'. Studio tracks include covers of Jim Reeves' country hit 'He'll Have to Go', the George Jones hit 'She Thinks I Still Care', and two singles that reached the pop Top 40, 'Way Down' and the title track. The abundance of country songs on Moody Blue reflects the shift in Elvis Presley's audience, as does the chart performance of both singles (each reached the number one position on Billboard's country chart). Elvis Presley's vocals for the studio tracks were recorded in his den at Graceland.
