Take My Hand: Gospel Favourites.......2007-05-21

The old songs were not changed. They were juist as I rembered them as a child.

"Take My Hand: Gospel Favourites" CD by Elvis Presley.......2007-05-07

The CD was beautiful and perfect. I used express delivery, and it came right on time for my mother's funeral. I was very pleased.

Soulful and inspiring.......2007-01-21

On this impressive collection of gospel songs Elvis is variously backed by the Jordanaires, Sweet Inspirations, Imperials and the Stamps Quartet. Chronologically the material ranges from songs recorded from 1957 to the early 1970s. They are mostly gospel classics but there are also later compositions like Put Your Hand In The Hand which was a pop hit in 1971.

Several styles are represented, from the slow and solemn hymns like Take My Hand Precious Lord, He Touched Me and I Believe to rhythmic uptempo tracks like Joshua Fit The Battle, By And By and Working On The Building with its lovely backing vocals. My personal favorites include the opening track Take My Hand, this version of Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, In The Garden and Where Could I Go But To The Lord.

I was a bit surprized to learn that Swing Down Sweet Chariot is an uptempo rock song, not the well-known Swing Low Sweet Chariot. The music is inspiring and soulful, revealing the devotional side of the magnificent king of rock and roll. The booklet contains an informative history of Elvis' gospel recordings by Brian Nevill and four photographs: full color one of the Jordanaires and Millie Kirkham, a black and white one of the Imperials plus the front and back pics of Elvis.

Take My Hand: Gospel Favourite Elvis Presley.......2006-08-31

These songs sure bring back some good memories of singin in church. I remembered almost all of them and felt just as good singing them as I did as a teenager. To me Elvis Presley's gospel albums were the best of anything he did. whiling listening to him sing you can feel his love of gospel music coming through. As a teenager I had all his gospel albums but they got ruined when I moved from home. Great memories, great singing.

Elvis' first love.......2004-12-15

Gospel music was Elvis' first love and at the time of his discovery by the late Sam Phillips he was seriously considering joining the Songfellows, a gospel quartet, instead of signing to Sun Records. Throughout his career Elvis always used full gospel groups rather than backing singers, on stage and in the studio. At the same time that he was recording All Shook Up in January 1957, he was also recording songs for a gospel EP, Peace In The Valley, all of which were included on Elvis' Christmas Album later that year, and also appear here.
This collection also draws from three gospel albums that Elvis released: His Hand In Mine (1960), How Great Thou Art (1966) and He Touched Me (1971) and a couple of stray tracks including his hit single Crying In The Chapel, plus a medley of two songs he recorded and filmed at the Elvis On Tour sessions but which remained in the can until 1994.
Although a great rock singer, unlike his contemporaries, Elvis had the range to sing with an unmatched purity and sincerity on both devotional gospels and secular ballads and wasn't afraid to match his voice with the best gospel singers in the business, as this set ably demonstrates

Mixed Experience.......2007-07-08

I bought this CD a few years ago. It was manufactured in Belgium and contained a strange clear seal on the playing side. I discovered that it would only play in top loading CD players and not without interference. I had to have it professionally recopied and it cost me $25.00. I guess it was made to play on Region 2 DVD players.

I now enjoy the beautiful voice I enjoyed as a child while living in a British colonial nation, with the BBC providing the inspiration. Since most of Jim's CD's are manufactured overseas clear the compatibility hurdle before purchasing.

GREAT SONG SELECTION; PRODUCTION IS DULL.......2005-03-05

Reeves voice is incomparable and the song selections are great! The production values are dull. Reeves recorded at a time during the sixties when arrangements were lush with strings, which I love. For those who love simple arrangements, this is the CD for you as Reeves voice is the primary attraction. If you want a voice complemented by sophisticated production (aka the sixties sound) you will be disappointed. The songs are great, Reeves is great, the production not so great!

A great, relaxing CD.......2002-11-01

I bought this for my Dad's birthday, and he plays it most every Sunday. Reeves reminds me of Eddy Arnold's smooth style.

Very pleasant surprise.......2006-09-15

In only the last year or so I have discovered Etta and love her music. My wife and I have not thought ourselves keen on gospel music but when we came across this by accident we decided to give it a go. Almost all the 18 tracks are really good and very well selected. About 4/5 tracks are a bit too similar to others on the disc - but what the heck ! The track by Bob Dylan was a surprise inclusion and could hardly qualify as real gospel but we are really glad that they included it. Etta is in great form and it was a surprise to see how very recent the album was made. The backing is marvellous - both instrumentally and the choir.

The only thing I am disappointed in is that the name of the choir is not mentioned. They are so great they should be recognised !!
