Blackwell* Jailhouse Rock Heartbreak Hotel Side B: Don't Be Cruel One Night Blue Suede Shoes Love Me Tender Review : “Originally titled King Does the King's Thing, here's Albert King adding his own touch to a batch of Elvis Presley tunes. Because King's style is so irreducible, the concept actually works, as he fills this album with his traditional, high-voltage guitar work and strong vocals. That isn't surprising, since four of the nine tunes on here originally started as R&B hits covered by Presley, including an instrumental version of Smiley Lewis' "One Night." No matter what the original sources may be, though, this is a strong showing in King's catalog.” AllMusic Review by Cub Koda Ratings : AllMusic : 3 / 5 ; Discogs : 4.2 / 5
