Negative Positive
Title: Unfortunate
Review: Elvis is essentially one of the best song writers of the last 50 years. His singing though is just passable. Like Lou Reed his voice is a rough tool that he makes the most of. Unfortunately the songs on Painted From Memory need to be really sung. They could be quite beautiful and full of subtlety. So many other true singers would have made this a fantastic CD. Unfortunately Elvis offers only headaches.
