Long live the king!

Elvis, the King would have turned 08 on January 2015 80 years old. For those who Blue suede shoes, Cant help falling in love or How Great Thou Art in more than ten live versions have at home and wondering what they should buy from Elvis soon the flood of Elvis releases tears indeed in 38 after his death not from could be a welcome addition to this amazing assortment.

The label Fantastic Voyage ", on compilations of so-called. The" public domain ", fifty years old, and even older songs has specialized, makes on this 3 CD box with cast. 96 songs an absolute madness job.

CD 1, Elvis Style titled gathered songs that are outrageous, lean more or less to the SUN and 56er-Elvis, um. The performers are usually very obscure and most rockabilly professors known. DC Track 1 Pepper Hot Baby by Phil Gray sounds very, very strongly to Baby Let's Play House, and so it goes merrily on. In between dives then times a known quantity like Roy Orbison on or a cult figure as Hayden Thompson (very, very big to be crawling You are my sunshine). The boundaries between the naked epigonism, hero worship and stylistic amalgamation blur, but it remains all in Elvis style.

CD 2, Elvis songs, dedicated to interpretations of songs with which the King is associated. The focus here is also on the SUN-stuff and in 1956, it comes to rockabilly, early rock and roll, Western Bop known names Johnny Cash, Wanda Jackson, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis alternate with names as Roger LaRue, Mackey Hargett, Billy Rocka, Thumper Jones, Earl Robbins maximum pleasurable.

CD 3, Elvis adored, tops anything you've heard before. Here come the king homage, sometimes seriously, sometimes with a wink, sometimes mischievous, sometimes in a sound collage, sometimes simply jealous, sometimes opaque. Several young ladies want to spend Christmas with Elvis, other broach Elvis (involuntary) entry into the army, Lou Monte demands equal Elvis for president, Billy Boyle stated my babys crazy bout Elvis, Link Davis sings the trucker from Tennessee Super crude stuff, super rare items It is no longer out of the astonishment. Here starts the cult, here starts the Coronation Mass.

The CDs come in digipack in nice layout, good liner notes, discographic information included. Sound quality is good to grow through, it counts more here the historic document. Nevertheless, there is everything for an absolute pittance when you consider what it would cost in money and time, this partly ultra rare singles gather up themselves. For me, so far clearly interesting publication in the Elvis-is-80-year 2015th
