"Like Frank Sinatra, Elvis threw himself into his music. Whatever he had, whether it was spruced up soul or manicured mellowness, Elvis invests himself into the song he's singing. That passion is what distinguishes Way Down in the Jungle Room from the LPs culled from the same sessions. Here, in this double disc set, it's apparent Elvis never stopped believing in the power and redemption of music, that he never stopped searching for the right song to sing".

"Way Down in the Jungle Room is more than just yet another repackaging of the King's work, instead showing how vital a performer Presley remained right up to the end".

"Way Down in the Jungle Room is an archival collection that collects the material recorded at Graceland in 1976, which would prove to be Presley's final recording sessions. Way Down in the Jungle Room includes the material from From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee and Moody Blue, and a second disc of outtakes and alternate versions to create the definitive document of this often overlooked period in Presley's career".
