I had been looking forward to this set since it was announced. Now that it's here, it does not disappoint. Sound, as usual, is top notch by the excellent FTD Team of Vic and Sebastian. Even though there are some edits with some dialogue, they are done tastefully and enhance the listening experience. The music itself is great fun, with Elvis and the wonderfully underrated Jerry Reed trading quips in between takes. This is truly fly-on-the-wall listening. Some of the alternate takes are better than the final released master takes. Guitar Man, Big Boss Man, High Heel Sneakers are all fun infectious performances with a bit of jamming to go along with it. Elvis' beautiful tender ballad voice shines here on such beautiful tracks as Mine and You Don't Know Me, as well as the religious single tracks You'll Never Walk Alone and We Call on Him. This is one of the best of the sessions sets that FTD has given us over the last several years. Some of these songs are lesser known than Elvis' biggest hits, but just as great as anything he ever did. Highly recommended set by a fan of over 40 years.
