#1969 Album

[hooked-on-elvis]

I always say From Elvis in Memphis is my favorite Elvis album but I never actually shared the FULL ALBUM here — even tho it's easy to find it available online, here it goes:

This album is turning 55 years old this year, on June. This is a MASTERPIERCE. No kidding.⚡

“Work initially began at George’s home [Kinfauns] in high summer 1969 with help from Billy Preston, before Doris and George went into the studio proper, probably in late September [with Klaus Voormann, Stephen Stills, Ringo, Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton, Rita Coolidge, and more]. […] Harrison co-wrote four of the songs [‘Ain’t That Cute’ and ‘Give Me Back My Dynamite’ are Harrison-Troy co-written; Harrison-Troy-Starkey-Stills co-written songs were ‘Gonna Get My Baby Back’ and ‘You Give Me Joy Joy’] on Doris Troy, arranged the traditional, ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ with Troy […]. When the album was reissued Troy said, ‘Doing that album was a reminder that “soul” didn’t have a color.’” - udiscovermusic.com, January 6, 2019 “George is the greatest as far as I’m concerned. As a musician he is fine and he’s already a good producer, but I think his real bag would be as a missionary or leader of people. He has a great heart and soul, a really beautiful person who is able to communicate peace and joy.” - Doris Troy, Record Mirror, January 1, 1972 “I think [George] had been involved in soul music for years — he listened to it, he loved it, and that’s what made him want to do it. I wasn’t actually introducing him to the stuff, he already knew it. The Beatles as a whole listened to black music, a lot of their soul and feelings came from American music.” - Doris Troy, While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison (2003) “[George] was like a perfectionist. He wanted every note to be exactly right. To me, he didn’t have to take that long. We could have knocked it out and just went for the feel of it, you now? But he would take into a solo, man, and take hours to get the solo right. I’m not knocking him or anything; it’s just that that’s the way he was.” - Doris Troy, Unknown Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll (1998) (x)

“See, I never really liked Sgt Pepper. I mean, I think it's a fine album. All the work we do is fine. But I think I felt like a session man on it. We put so much on it-- strings and brass-- and you'd sit 'round the studio for days, you know, while they're overdubbing other things. It is a fine album, but just for me emotionally I prefer Abbey Road and alot of the White Album. And the early albums for different reasons."

— Ringo Starr, Inner-view, August 29th, 1977
