He Is My Everything

Elvis Presley / RCA/Provident Music  Distribution

Sure, the king is dead, but that doesn’t mean Elvis’ Grammy-winning contribution to gospel music has to be buried as well. With the release of He Is My Everything we are treated once again to the gospel/early rock stylings of this American legend—and the results are quite pleasing.

Singing with a relaxed pleasantness, Elvis provides many high points on this CD. The energetic arrangement “Joshua Fit The Battle” is intensely fun, as is his remake of the Andrae Crouch classic, “I’ve Got Confidence.” The balladic performances of “How Great Thou Art” and “In the Garden” are also inspiring.

Expect He Is My Everything to appeal to the legion of Elvis fans out there, as well as to Southern gospel aficionados and lovers of classic hymns and songs.
