Elvis Is Back! is the tenth studio album by Elvis Presley, released on April 8, 1960. It marked his triumphant return to the recording studio after serving two years in the U.S. Army. The album showcased a more mature and versatile Elvis, blending rock and roll, rhythm and blues, pop, and even jazz influences into a polished and sophisticated sound.
The album features standout tracks like "Fever," where Elvis delivers a sultry, stripped-down performance, and "Such a Night," a lively, swaggering tune. His vocal power shines on "The Girl of My Best Friend" and the soulful "Reconsider Baby." The album also embraces a broader stylistic range, with crooner ballads such as "Soldier Boy" and "It Feels So Right," demonstrating his evolving artistry.
Critically acclaimed, Elvis Is Back! is often regarded as one of Presley's finest albums, proving that he had lost none of his charm or energy during his military service. The record was a commercial success and cemented his place as a dominant force in music as the 1960s began.
