Elvis Is Back!

by Elvis Presley

The 868th greatest album of all time

Elvis Is Back! is Elvis Presley’s 1960 studio album marking his return to recording after military service. The record mixes rock and roll, rhythm and blues, pop ballads and country-tinged numbers, with Presley showing a fuller, more controlled vocal approach and a broader stylistic range than on his earliest records. Backed by seasoned session musicians and cleaner studio production, the album balances uptempo rockers and intimate ballads while retaining elements of his rockabilly roots.
