ELVIS PRESLEY - FRANKIE AND JOHNNY (180g Remastered, Vinyl LP, 2010, Import)
Review from another site: Frankie and Johnny found Elvis Presley playing a riverboat gambler, cruising up and down the Mississippi, placing bets, and falling in love. Its period setting means the film's accompanying soundtrack is loaded with retro Dixieland, a decision that keeps Elvis far, far away from the swinging Mod explosion in pop music in 1966. There's a slight feint at high-booted go-go music with the double-time breakdowns on "Shout It Out," but by the time that number shows up halfway through the second side, the clamor of the brass bands, tambourines, and bass drums obscure not only this subtle detail but also the record's two minor highlights: the passable Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman tune "What Every Woman Lives For" and the lazy, understated "Beginner's Luck." The charms of these are relative because Frankie and Johnny is one relentless, noisy, ugly record, its decibel level cranked to the breaking point and Presley appearing singularly mirthless throughout. -- Allmusic 
However, not everyone hates it.  Here's another view: Frankie and Johnny" is no classic, but how you view it depends on whether you're willing to buy into Elvis singing pre-rock cabaret music, if you buy into this odd construct, "Frankie and Johnny", "What Every Woman Lives For" and "Shout It Out" are good fun, fitting really well in with the theme, the bluesy "Hard Luck" and the pretty "Please Don't Stop Loving Me" are rather good while "Beginner's Luck" may be one of the best Elvis tracks from the mid 60s. -- John Hedwin
