Elvis Presley RCA releases 1981

In an attempt to give Elvis songs a modern country music sound, Felton Jarvis experimented by copying only Elvis’ voice to a tape and then have top musicians provide a new backing.
The result is the Guitar man LP on which some songs sound better, but other songs sound weaker than the original.
The date stated is the original recording date of Elvis’ vocals.
