Álbum Roustabout de Elvis Presley - Canciones
Roustabout
Reseña
Con Roustabout, de 1964, tenemos otra de las bandas sonoras de la prolífica carrera cinematográfica de Elvis Presley en los años 60. Por lo tanto, como era habitual en esta etapa, el álbum es una colección de canciones escritas específicamente para la película del mismo nombre, que estaba ambientada en el mundo de las ferias ambulantes. De hecho, el disco fue otro éxito de ventas que alcanzó el número uno en las listas.
En consecuencia, la calidad de las canciones es irregular. A pesar de la profesionalidad de Elvis Presley y de sus músicos, el material a menudo carece de la chispa y la energía de sus primeros trabajos. Como resultado, el disco es uno de los muchos ejemplos de su etapa más formularia.
A pesar de ello, el álbum contiene algunos momentos de rock and roll enérgico, como la canción que le da título. La interpretación de Elvis Presley sigue siendo el principal atractivo, una voz que era capaz de elevar incluso el material más mediocre.
En resumen, 'Roustabout' es un trabajo representativo de una época en la que el cine había eclipsado a la música en la carrera del "Rey del Rock". Es un disco para sus seguidores más completistas.

[X]letra de Hard Knocks
Some kids born with a silver spoon
I guess that I was born a little too soon
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
Some kids born as rich as a king
But I was born without a doggone thing
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I've heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I've heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I'm telling you, I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share
I said you'd better beware
'Cause I've had my share of hard knocks

[X]letra de Carny Town
Aha-ha hurry, hurry step this way
Aha-ha hurry, hurry step this way
Now the show you're going to see is strictly high class
There'll be ten hoola dancers shaking their grass
So step right up and put your money down
This way to Carny Town
We got a man so skinny you can see his bones
We play on his ribs like a xylophone
With a pair of spoons we get a rockin' song
You'll hear it all, in Carny Town
Hurry, hurry, hurry, the house is almost full
We got a two headed cow and that's no bull
There's a man who swallows swords and he never gets hurt
He eats razor blades for dessert
He's just about the sharpest guy around
You'll see him here, in Carny Town
Aha-ha hurry, hurry step this way
Aha-ha hurry, hurry step this way
Aha-ha hurry, hurry step this way
Aha-ha hurry, hurry step this way
Aha-ha I say we're gonna win
I said hurry up - There's a Brand New Day On the Horizon 2:00
- Wheels On My Heels 1:19
