I could not agree more,funnily enough,although I am a huge fan,I do not particularly like "polk salad annie" !! Seen the guy live in Australia,great night. 720934@blogcritics.org Sun, 25 May 2008 02:48:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/22/071549.php#comment-720631 Can't beat Tony joes rendition. Not Elvis's best format, anyhow. He's unconvincing on this song. Ballads are his best form, and other styles are just for variety, for seasoning. 720631@blogcritics.org Fri, 23 May 2008 16:08:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/22/071549.php#comment-720479 Firstly, let's remember that Elvis's version of Polk salad was a 'live' version, so did not have that studio feel like White's. Musically, White's version is better BUT as a 'live'song, Elvis makes it all his own.They're both good in their own ways. 720479@blogcritics.org Fri, 23 May 2008 05:41:13 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/22/071549.php#comment-720299 Elvis? No. 720299@blogcritics.org Thu, 22 May 2008 12:09:12 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/22/071549.php#comment-720275 Elvis' version of 'Polk salad Annie' cannot be beaten. It absolutely blows away Tony Joe's version. Further, when Elvis performed this song on stage it was one of the highlights of the show. 720275@blogcritics.org Thu, 22 May 2008 10:02:49 EDT
