Sobre el álbum
El álbum Kissin' Cousins, de 1964, es la banda sonora de la película del mismo nombre y otro ejemplo de la producción en cadena de su etapa en Hollywood. Este trabajo es una colección de canciones de pop ligero y con influencias del country y el folk. El disco es recordado principalmente por la curiosidad de que Elvis Presley interpretaba un doble papel en la película.
La calidad del material es, una vez más, muy desigual. Pese a la profesionalidad del artista, las canciones a menudo carecen de la inspiración y la fuerza de sus grandes obras. El disco es uno de los muchos trabajos alimenticios de esa época.
A pesar de ello, la canción que da título al disco es un tema de rock and roll enérgico y divertido que destaca sobre el resto del material.
'Kissin' Cousins' es un producto de su tiempo, un trabajo que deleitó a sus seguidores más jóvenes, pero que artísticamente no está a la altura de la leyenda del "Rey del Rock".

Letra
I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad Won't you play for me a down home country song 'Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong Give me a honk-tonk fiddle with a guitar in the middle and a melody Humming like a fountain swinging out on Smokey mountain I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad Won't you play for me a down home country song 'Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong Now the big toe's connected to the two toe And the two toe's connected to the three toe And the three toe's connected to the four toe And the four toe's connected to the five toe And the five toe and away we go I want a barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad Won't you play for me a down home country song 'Cause when I kick my shoes off and I kick my blues off With a barefoot ballad you just can't go wrong Now the big toe's connected to the two toe And the two toe's connected to the three toe And the three toe's connected to the four toe And the four toe's connected to the five toe And the five toe and away we go I want to barefoot ballad yes a barefoot ballad Won't you play for me a barefoot ballad song - Once Is Enough

- Echoes of Love
Letra
Though you are gone, I still wear your ring They're playing the song we used to sing Echoes of love, echoes of love Are coming to me out of the past The letters you wrote I treasure them so And I hear your voice wherever I go Echoes of love, echoes of love Are coming to me out of the past In the rustle of a breeze; in the patter of the rain In the rushing of the seas, all I hear is your name Come back my love and once you are near Darling I know no more will I hear Echoes of love, echoes of love 'cause you'll be with me right in my heart Echoes of love, echoes of love Cause you'll be with me right in my heart - (It's A) Long, Lonely Highway
