Promised Land came from the last recording sessions that Elvis Presley ever had in Memphis, the city where his fame and his legend started.
The December 1973 Stax Records studio sessions showed him, as he had on From Elvis in Memphis, reaching out to publishers other than those he owed for songs, and the repertory embraces material by Chuck Berry, Waylon Jennings, and Larry Gatlin, among others.
With the best players on hand and an upbeat mood when these songs were cut, and the singer himself lean and rested after a couple of years of concertizing, the vibes throughout this album were positive and then some.

 Casing the Promised Land, Pants Talk, June 15, 1999
This song is a classic unintentional Springsteen self parody, of course, and it should make me laugh.
The only line that is even remotely patriotic in the song is its title, and being born in the U.S.A. doesn’t exactly set you apart from the other presidential candidates.
The song featured beautiful songs filled with personal and painfully honest lyrics about his first marriage ("Then the lights go out and it’s just the three of us: you, me, and all that stuff we’re so scared of").

 Amazon.com: Promised Land: Music: Harold Land   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Harold Land's final recording and his first in seven years, the great tenor saxophonist sounds stonger to me on this outing than on some of his recordings from the '70's and '80's.
If you're new to Harold Land, start with the Brown/Roach recordings (heresy, but I prefer the Land sessions to those with Rollins) or "The Curtis Counce Group" (which opens with Harold's remarkable "Landslide" followed by his exquisite ballad treatment of "Time After Time").
But if you're already well aware of this diminutive musician who was one of the true titans of the tenor saxophone, "Promised Land" is another gold strike from the Land mine.
