Álbum King Creole de Elvis Presley - Canciones
King Creole
Reseña
La banda sonora de la película del mismo nombre, 'King Creole' de 1958, es considerada por la crítica y por muchos seguidores como la mejor de toda su carrera cinematográfica. Esta obra es, por lo tanto, un testamento del increíble talento de Elvis Presley en una de sus mejores películas y un pilar en la discografía de Elvis Presley. De hecho, es un disco que captura a la perfección la atmósfera de blues y de rock and roll de Nueva Orleans.
En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es crudo, potente y con un "swing" extraordinario. La banda que lo acompaña suena con una energía y una autenticidad arrolladoras. Como resultado, las canciones son de una calidad excepcional, muy por encima de la media de sus bandas sonoras posteriores.
Además, el álbum contiene joyas como la canción que le da título, "King Creole", un tema de rock and roll con una potente sección de vientos. Por otro lado, "Hard Headed Woman" se convirtió en otro de sus grandes éxitos. La interpretación de Elvis Presley, además, es de una fuerza y una chulería extraordinarias.
En definitiva, 'King Creole' es una obra maestra, el ejemplo perfecto de que, cuando las canciones y la película estaban a la altura de su talento, Elvis Presley era, sencillamente, imbatible.

[X]letra de As Long as I Have You
Let the stars fade and fall
And I won't care at all
As long as I have you
Every kiss brings a thrill
And I know that it will
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
As long, as long as I have youComposición: Ben Weisman (2), Fred Wise - Hard Headed WomanVer letra 1:57
[X]letra de Hard Headed Woman
Well a hard headed woman,
A soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble
Ever since the world began.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.
Now Adam told to Eve,
"Listen here to me,
Don't you let me catch you
Messing round that apple tree."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.
Now Samson told Delilah
Loud and clear,
"Keep your cotton picking fingers
Out my curly hair."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.
I heard about a king
Who was doing swell
Till he started playing
With that evil Jezebel.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man.
I got a woman,
A head like a rock.
If she ever went away
I'd cry around the clock.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.Composición: Claude DeMetrius - Trouble 2:21

[X]letra de Dixieland Rock
Well, down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose
I grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose
Well, I dig that music; "well," she said, "me too"
I said, "pretty baby, come on and let's do
The Dixieland Rock
Well, the Dixieland Rock
Let your hair down, Sugar--shake it free
And do the Dixieland Rock with me"
With the blue light shining on her swinging hips
She got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticks
The cornet player hit a note that's flat
The tromboner hit him while the poor cat sat
The Dixieland Rock
Well, the Dixieland Rock
Let your hair down, Sugar--shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me
I was all pooped out and when the clock struck four
But she said, "no, daddy, can't leave the floor"
She wore a clinging dress that fit so tight
She couldn't sit down so we danced all night
The Dixieland Rock
Well, the Dixieland Rock
Let your hair down Sugar--shake it free
And do the Dixieland Rock with me
Let your hair down, Sugar--shake it
And do the Dixieland Rock with meComposición: Aaron Schroeder, Rachel Frank - Don't Ask Me Why 2:10

[X]letra de Crawfish
Crawfish (Crawfish)
Well, I went to the bayou just last night
There was no moon, but the stars were bright
Put a big long hook on a big long pole
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish out of his hole
Crawfish (Crawfish)
See I got him; see the size
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes
Sweet meat, look, fresh and ready to cook
Crawfish (Crawfish)
Now take Mr. Crawfish in your hand
He's gonna look good in your frying pan
If you fry him crisp or you boil him right
He'll be sweeter than sugar with every bite
Crawfish (Crawfish)
See I got him; see the size
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes
Sweet meat look, fresh and ready to cook

[X]letra de Danny
My name should be trouble
My name should be woe
For trouble and heartache
Is all that I know
But Danny, yes, Danny is my name
My life has been empty
My heart has been torn
It must have been rainy, oh yeah,
The night I was born
Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name
I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love never came my way
I'm writing a letter
To someone I know
So if you should find it
And if you're alone
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
