08012014 - Elvis Presley "Today"

Today is Elvis Day, as The King would have turned 79 years old! What better reason to check out one of his last studio albums? "Today" was released in 1975, and is 70's Elvis at his best! OK, that's not saying much, because you either think all his 70's stuff is wonderful or you're wrong, but even without any H-U-G-E hits on it, this album has everything you need from the man - rockers, ballads and lovely heartfelt schmaltz! Me, I love his semi-originals and his cover songs equally much, and I always will! Fun fact: "Today" reached #11 in the Norwegian album chart - higher than in any other country!

Happy Elvis Day!
