{"product_id":"elvis-presley-g-i-blues-cd","title":"Elvis Presley - G.I. Blues [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eG.I. Blues is the soundtrack that welcomed Elvis Presley back from the Army, and this manufactured-on-demand CD edition brings back the 1960 album in all its sunny, smooth-edged charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter two years of military service, much of it in Germany, Elvis returned to a very different career. The film G.I. Blues cast him as a soldier stationed overseas, and its songs captured a slightly more grown-up, polished King, swapping some of the raw rock and roll of the fifties for sweet ballads, playful novelties and a fresh, clean studio sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWooden Heart is the charmer of the set, a folk-tinged love song that slips into German and became one of his best-loved film numbers. The title track G.I. Blues is a jaunty, marching-band shuffle with a wry sense of humour. Elvis also revisits Blue Suede Shoes, giving the Carl Perkins classic a new spin, while Pocketful of Rainbows floats along with easy romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShoppin' Around, Frankfort Special and Tonight Is So Right for Love round out a record full of breezy melodies and gentle swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Elvis on film, this is a cheerful, nostalgic listen and a fine reminder of his transition from rebel to all-round entertainer at the start of the sixties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499445788977,"sku":"190759410226","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_5d18a5ec-c053-4fb9-82d5-41961c429836.jpg?v=1794507047","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/elvis-presley-g-i-blues-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
