In this episode, of A Little More Conversation, our resident Elvis expert Martin and our Elvis novice Noel, review the third studio album of Elvis Presley titled “Elvis' Christmas Album” from 1957 and Elvis' life at the time.
We discuss the incredible variation on the album from Christmas rock to Christmas carols and gospel, how the album was marketed to a wider demographic than his previous albums and everything he was up to during the year which passed since his second album, including his rise to movie star fame!
This was a jam packed year with 3 movies, several single releases including 'All Shook Up' and 'Teddy Bear', countless appearances and shows. This was a massive milestone in The King's career, as in the next few months following this album, Elvis was drafted into the Army and lost his mother.
Join us as we celebrate the life and music of Elvis Aaron Presley!
