Music Review: Elvis Presley - Pot Luck - Page 2

Part of: The Discographer

There were several other good tracks included on this album. “Night Rider” is catchy and could have been a successful single release. “Just For Old Time Sake” is an effective balled which features a smooth vocal. “Fountain Of Love” is a nice up-tempo pop ditty that just rolls along. The CD reissue of this album includes the song “You’ll Be Gone” which was originally the flip side of the single “Do The Clam.” This may be the only song to which Elvis actually wrote the lyrics.

Pot Luck is an apt name for this album. While it will never be viewed as one of the classic or even memorable Elvis releases, it does in its own way hold up well. It remains a relaxing album and proves that Elvis could make almost any group of songs worthwhile.

    Hi David, just to let you know your reviews are appreciated by a great many Elvis fans.

    This latest effort a very discerning look at the Album.
    Terry Stafford's "Suspicion" heard for the first time on a jukebox in 1962 fooled me for about five seconds! :-)
