5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis at his down to earth best!
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2014

I don't know why this album has been somewhat overlooked over the years - it clearly shows a wonderfully maturing sound and emotional delivery from Elvis in the final year of his life. Recorded at Graceland in the comfort of his home, it is a great complement to the Live from Memphis album, taken I believe from these same Jungle Room sessions. This is rapidly becoming one of my top favorite Elvis albums to go to over and over again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to discover more than the "Las Vegas concert" style shows Elvis is so often characterized with. Listen to this one and you'll discover the great Elvis Presley often missed in the publicity games.

One of Presley's lesser known albums, but very rich and contains songs you will not find anywhere else. I love it and though I bought it specifically for one song, I am delighted with the entire album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings...
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2007
I'm not going to discuss the quality of these songs. Other reviewers have already done that. I want to talk about the sonics.

On the plus side, this album has alternate takes of these songs WITHOUT all the string overdubs that plagued many of Elvis' later recordings. Some of the Nashville Sessions from 1970 sound great with strings, as the arrangements seemed to clearly call for needed strings. However, Elvis' last recordings from '75-'76 seemed like they were fine without strings, and all that overdubbing was merely an afterthought. So, it's good to have these "raw" recordings as they were performed in the studio.

Also, the sound quality is top-notch...crisp & clean.

But now, the negative...it sounds to me like the songs on this album were not re-mixed for this CD. It sounds as though they were transferred to CD exactly as they were played in the studio, instead of correcting problems with proper mixing. There are instruments that at times seem either too prominant, or not prominant enough. The same goes for Elvis' voice. That's totally natural. But that's also why they recorded on multiple tracks. Adjusting volumes & such in the mixing process is really important, and it seems to be lacking here.

Conversely, check out the fantastic FTD edition of Elvis' album Today. It contains the original 1975 album plus alternate takes. But it also contains all the MASTER TAKES...WITHOUT OVERDUBS! So, you get to hear the BEST studio cuts of each song, with only Elvis and his studio band, and with proper mixing. It sounds fantastic, cleaner & clearer than anything before, and has now replaced my old Today album as the definitive edition.

I am a huge Elvis fan. I was a bit worried about forking out the money for the album as some ''alternate take' albums can be terrible. This album however is a must have for an Elvis. If you like the Memphis boulavard album you will like this one. Great album, Elvis is definately on form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Being Elvis Presley
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2010

I'm sitting here listening to The Jungle Room Sessions by Elvis Presley. It's incredibly beautiful. The story, in so far as I know it, runs as follows:

By 1976, RCA (his record company) was finding it increasingly difficult to coax Elvis into the studio to record new material. So if Elvis would not go to the mountain, then the mountain must come to Elvis. It was agreed that the recording equipment would be set up in the now famous "Jungle Room" at Graceland, and Elvis would...record. The producer was Felton Jarvis, who worked on a lot of Elvis' later material. Many, if not all, of the tracks produced during these Jungle Room sessions are on the cd. There are seventeen of them, mainly in the form of alternate takes, which include a number of false starts as well as a lot of the before and after studio banter between Elvis and his musicians. A lot of these songs are very beautiful indeed, and although it was only a little over a year before he died, vocally and temperamentally Elvis actually sounds in good shape. And he pours his still considerable heart into the material.

There is a story, which I picked up online - and for the truth of which I cannot vouch - that after the sessions were completed, Felton Jarvis found himself standing next to Elvis on the lawn at Graceland. It was night-time (of course) and the conversation went as follows:

Elvis: "I'm so tired...."

Jarvis: "You've worked hard. You deserve a holiday."

Elvis: "No, you don't understand what I mean. I'm just so tired of being Elvis Presley..."

The great thing about these sessions is that they give you a fully rounded portrait of the artist. Instead of the tracks which make up The Jungle Room Sessions being fragmented and dispersed over a number of different albums, here they constitute a single body of work - chosen and recorded in that place, at that time. In spite of the different styles of the songs - which actually serve to illustrate the different facets of Elvis' talent and his musical history - this gives to the work a unity and a narrative that it would otherwise lack.

It may be late in his career - and what are euphemistically referred to as his "personal problems" may be mounting - but this is very much a proper Elvis album. And it is well worth its place in any interested person's collection.
