Originally released back in November 1960, the Gospel music album "His Hand In Mine" by Elvis Presley remains a true classic milestone from the King of Rock 'n' Roll. In a year that saw the release of the albums "Elvis Is Back" and "G.I. Blues" comes this masterpiece of beautiful songs that really meant the world to Elvis, as this is the very type of music that he grew up listening to. Just 3 years earlier in 1957, he recorded and released the 4-song EP record "Peace In The Valley", his first true Gospel release. This time, he recorded an entire album of these songs. The result was a brilliant production, with assistance from the Jordanaires. The album opens with the title song, which would later be issued as a single for Easter 1969. The up-tempo "I'm Gonna Walk Dem Golden Stairs" is followed by the the slow numbers "In My Father's House", "Milky White Way", "Known Only To Him" and "I Believe In The Man In The Sky". Another up-tempo song is featured in "Joshua Fit The Battle"; "He Knows Just What I Need", "Mansion Over The Hilltop" and "If We Never Meet Again" are more fine slow songs, with "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" and "Working On The Building" rounding out the set. The song "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" would eventually be rerecorded by Elvis for the 1969 motion picture "The Trouble With Girls". After this album, Elvis would once again return to his Gospel roots with with his 2 Grammy-winning classic albums, "How Great Thou Art" and "He Touched Me". With all of these tracks reproduced in 'Living Stereo', you get to hear Elvis with his voice in fine form, singing songs with special meaning.Read full review
