Elvis Presley - Pocketful Of Rainbows Crawfish

Review by Mariah McMillian

Album Review: Pocketful Of Rainbows Crawfish by Elvis Presley In 2013, the UK-based label Fryers released a gem of an album that feels like a hidden treasure for rock enthusiasts. Pocketful Of Rainbows Crawfish dives deep into Elvis Presley’s timeless ability to blend Rock & Roll with Rhythm & Blues, showcasing two alternate takes that breathe new life into classic tracks. Though this isn’t your typical polished studio production, it’s precisely its raw charm that makes it unforgettable. The standout track, Crawfish (Alternate Take), grabs you right from the start. It’s got this gritty edge—like Elvis decided to let loose and have a bit of fun in the studio. The rhythm is infectious, almost daring you not to tap your feet. What sticks with me is how effortlessly Presley’s voice glides over the instrumentation, making it feel both spontaneous and deliberate. It’s one of those tracks where you can almost picture the session, musicians vibing off each other, creating something that feels alive. Then there’s Pocketful Of Rainbows (Alternate Take), which offers a softer contrast. This version strips back some of the original’s grandeur but replaces it with an intimacy that feels personal. You can hear nuances in Elvis’ delivery—a slight crack in his voice here, an elongated note there—that remind you why he was called the King. It’s not perfect, and honestly, that’s what makes it so compelling. It’s like peeking behind the curtain at a legend unfiltered. What’s wild about this album is how it challenges expectations. These aren’t the glossy hits everyone knows; they’re rougher, more human. Listening to them feels like rediscovering Elvis all over again. And maybe that’s the beauty of it—music doesn’t always need to be flawless to resonate. Sometimes, it just needs to be real. So yeah, if you’re a fan of rock history or just love digging into the nitty-gritty of how songs come together, this one’s worth a spin. Who would’ve thought that alternate takes could pack such a punch? Guess even legends leave room for happy accidents.
