Elvis Presley's music was hopelessly out of date by the time he made Easy Come, Easy Go, his 23rd film: a breezy but fairly dire 1967 movie in which he played a frogman hunting for sunken treasure. He wasn't getting access to the best songs anymore, and the film wasn't going to do anything for anyone's career (though it did give work to such movie veterans as Elsa Lanchester and Frank McHugh). Yet, when he gets into the right groove, even on a less-than-great song such as the title track, or "You Gotta Stop," or even "Sing You Children," he was charismatic enough to carry the material and make it worth hearing. The outtake version of "The Love Machine," with more prominent lead guitar (courtesy of Scotty Moore) and a hotter, more upfront brass section, and "Sing You Children," with a more stripped-down arrangement, are both worthwhile additions to the soundtrack. This album is eminently listenable if one ignores "Yoga Is as Yoga Does," which occupies a place near the bottom of Presley's song output on anyone's list.
