Elvis Presley’s self-titled breakout album released in March 1956 to an all too accommodating crowd, made for good rock and roll. The album , recorded at RCA Victor recording studios, a subsidiary of Sony Music with a total length of 28 minutes 3 seconds. The self-titled album received accolades such as “1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” and certified Gold the following year and Platinum in 2011. Presley seems to have that uncanny ability to change between his original blues accented, up-tempo feel and go to a more somber, stranger Elvis.
