Judge "Wild in the Country" on your own where Elvis is involved with 3 women (but it was the early 60s so no big deal). They should have noted that "Lonely Man" on this package was cut from the film. It was a hit single however and the movie clip appeared at a special Elvis event in Las Vegas years later. Over the years various critics have given Elvis high marks for his acting chops in "Flaming Star" and "Follow That Dream", perhaps because the scripts were better than usual. Elvis is effective as the not-too-bright peace officer of the peapatch territory he and his family have homesteaded for themselves and no Presley film surpasses the obligatory sing-his-girl-a-romantic-song as when he sings "Angel" to the lovely-from-head-to-toe Anne Helm. It's always been my favorite. The other songs are more-than-usual memorable too. In "Flaming Star" (almost called "Black Star") you forget Elvis' unlikely blue eyes as he effectively plays a half-breed Injun with seasoned actress Dolores del Rio as family and rides awkwardly into the sunset. (They shoulda given him a different horse). This package though is worth the price.

"Angel" is a stirring, haunting ballad, "Follow That Dream" and "What a Wonderful Life" are jubiliant and the outtake "Whistling Tune" is very nice. Those are all near the end of this uneven CD that concentrates on unreleased material(that stayed unreleased many years for fairly good reasons). "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell"(two versions!)from "Wild in the Country" is a nice one to own, but the rest of the tracks are more interesting on a historical-Elvis level than as a good listening experience. B-

Three Elvis movies with great songs on all three. Flaming Star has some songs that really show off Elvis' early talents as does Wild In The Country. Follow that Dream is my favorite with every song a hit. This CD has to be in your collection, if not, get it. You will not be dissapointed if your an Elvis fan like myself. Of course if your an Elvis fan, you would already know these songs from other albums, thats what makes this triple feature so great all in one CD.

I love this music especially the WIld In The Country and the FOllow That Dream songs. From WIld in The Country,, I always like the song SLip Stumpled and Fell and the beautifull Lonely Man song. OF course the classic songs Follow That Dream and Angel are two of my favorite and when I was 19 the song "IM not the Marrying KInd" was my song, but that was many years ago and much has changed but the music is still very beautifull to listen too. So take a listen to a more simpler time of Life,The early 60's! and a young Elvis who has just been out of the Army a year or two.

What we have here are three Elvis soundtracks on one CD. The songs were recorded in 1960 and 1961. None of the movies are Elvis "formula" pictures, and they feature less songs than a typical Elvis movie.

Flaming Star only had four songs recorded for it. "Flaming Star" and "Summer Kisses Winter Tears" are very good songs. "Britches" and "A Cane and a High Starched Collar" are not very good songs.

Wild in the Country had five songs recorded for it. All the songs are good. In particular, "Lonely Man" is a great ballad and "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell" is a fun, goofy rocker.

Follow That Dream had six songs recorded for it. The songs are good, although "Sound Advice" is somewhat weak. "Follow That Dream" is the best song, but "Angel" and "What a Wonderful Life" are almost as good.

Elvis fans should enjoy this CD.
