Sad Songs - "Always On My Mind" 30th Anniversary Edition (2014)

By JimmyCool

"Always On My Mind" was a concept compilation album produced by Gregg Geller and released by RCA in June of 1985, given over to breakup songs. Especially after his own divorce in 1972, Presley showed a real affection for maudlin, self-pitying material like "Don't Cry, Daddy" (actually recorded in January 1969 and a Top Ten hit), "You Gave Me A Mountain" (recorded in January 1973), and, of course, the excuse-filled title track (recorded in March 1972, the month after he was legally separated from his wife). This is a new expanded version with Elvis' saddest songs. It's all here; put it on, raise a glass, and cry in your beer. Note: This is a homemade compilation.
