Elvis Presley’s eponymous debut album was released on March 13, 1956, following a series of popular Elvis recordings released in the two previous years. The album was met with huge commercial and critical success, peaking at #1 on the charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Interestingly, the album also peaked at #20 in Norway. The album opens with possibly the most well-known and iconic song Elvis has ever recorded, “Blue Suede Shoes”. Already, the album is off to a great start, but it gets even better with songs such as “I’m Counting on You”, “I Love You Because”, and “Trying to Get to You”.
Overall, this is a very good album. I’d highly recommend listening to it if you haven’t done so already.
