I think this CD is buying worthy. I haven't seen the show, but expected something different...It isn't close to Elvis. The vocals and arrangments were changed. It's good, and I'm happy with it. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I wasn't expecting what it was. The songs are good, lead vocals are not bad...I think you might be happier buying an Elvis CD, but this is the musical soundtrack. It depends what you are getting it for--Don't expect strict Elvis music. Like I said it's good. :]
I decided to buy this CD because I had never heard of this play and, being the Elvis nut that I am, I was naturally curious! Upon researching it, I found out that it didn't make it too long on Broadway, which is a shame because it is very entertaining. I hope that it goes on tour one day, as I would really like the opportunity to see it! I would reccommend this to anyone who enjoys Elvis music!
The music on this disc is fine if you are looking for a guide to perform in a presentation of the musical "All Shook Up", which is what my high school daughter is currently doing. However, if you are looking for a true compiliation of 1950s rock and roll that captures the energy and the spirit of actual artists that discovered and performed this new music (at the time) to a generally unsuspecting public, pass this by and go for the genuine article - there are better compiliations organized by the actual artist, particular sub-style, or even the year that are out there.
We saw this musical at a local theater company. The play is very funny and the music made it so. We loved the music so we bought the CD. The broadway recording is very enjoyable. Great music with great performers. If you love Elvis, you need this Soundtrack!!!
