Album Notes
G.I. BLUES, Presley's first movie following his return from military service was, like most of his '60s movies, a light romantic comedy with plenty of musical numbers. As the decade progressed and the Presley movie formula ossified, Hollywood and Colonel Tom expended less effort finding suitable musical material for Presley to sing. Presley's earliest '60s movies, however, usually boasted strong soundtracks, and G.I. BLUES is among the best of them. None of the songs are embarrassing--no "Yoga Is As Yoga Does" or "Queenie Wahini's Papaya" here--and, in fact, nearly all are very good.Best, of course, is the Carl Perkins classic "Blue Suede Shoes", but also excellent are a "Such A Night"-like boogie entitled "Tonight Is So Right For Love", the title track, and several lovely ballads, among them "Pocket Full Of Rainbows", "Wooden Heart", and the lullaby "Big Boots". Overall, G.I. BLUES doesn't rock quite as hard as Elvis' pre-Army soundtracks, but it does demonstrate considerably more life than most of the soundtracks that followed. In fact, Presley's movies might not be the object of derision they are today had Presley's handlers worked harder at getting him material of this quality for his later films.
