{"product_id":"elvis-presley-separate-ways-cd","title":"Elvis Presley - Separate Ways [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeparate Ways is one of Elvis Presley's budget-line collections from 1972, now back as a made-to-order CD edition, and it holds a couple of genuine treasures among its ten songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was issued on RCA's Camden label, which mixed fresh recordings with older tracks that hadn't yet found a home on a long-player. That gives it a scrapbook feel, jumping from 1950s country to early-1960s film songs to the newest material Presley had cut in 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe newer songs are the reason to be here. \"Separate Ways,\" written by Red West and Richard Mainegra, is a tender, sorrowful ballad about a family coming apart, sung with real ache at a time when Presley's own marriage was ending. \"Always on My Mind,\" recorded in the same March 1972 sessions, is quite simply one of his finest vocal performances, restrained and heartbreaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, \"Old Shep,\" the sentimental Red Foley song Presley had loved since childhood, reaches all the way back to 1956, while film songs from Wild in the Country add a lighter, breezier touch to the running order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's an odd, endearing little album with two of his most moving ballads tucked inside. For collectors building out the Camden years, it's a welcome find.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518459945265,"sku":"190759410523","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Elvis_Presley-Separate_Ways_CD_c4f0f8c6-d4c7-4b3f-8282-084f281c02ca.jpg?v=1794678799","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/elvis-presley-separate-ways-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
