REVIEW:
Forty years after making history as Elvis Presley's sidemen, guitarist Scotty Moore and drummer D.J. Fontana reunited to record All the King's Men. The album is a tribute to Elvis but not in the traditional sense. Most tributes devote themselves to covering shopworn classics by familiar artists, but this one tries to nail down the spirit of Elvis. With a number of guest artists in tow, Moore and Fontana run through a number of new songs — Rick Nielsen's "Bad Little Girl," Joe Ely's "I'm Gonna Strangle You Shorty," the BoDeans' "Locked in the State of Illinois," and the Mavericks' "I Told You So" — revamping them to sound like lost rock & roll classics. It's not always a successful effort, but most of All the King's Men is roots rock at its best and least pretentious. It's hard to resist Keith Richards and Levon Helm's duet on "Deuce and a Quarter," or Jeff Beck and Ronnie Wood playing on "Unsung Heroes," and Moore and Fontana play superbly throughout. For die-hard rockabilly cats, All the King's Men will sound like a tribute fit for a king. Very highly recommended!
REVIEW:
All The King's Men....Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana (Elvis's pre-army, pre-percodan, pre-colonel, and pre-priscilla) Guitarist and Drummer are to be forever praised for inventing Rock and roll instrumentation. And look who is on here with Scotty and DJ: Keith Richard and the surviving members of the Band on "Deuce And A Quarter"; the Mavericks on "I Told You So"; and MY favorite American band, Cheap Trick on "Bad Little Girl." Look at the track list yourself and see the rest. I think Elvis himself would've been pleased with this CD. It's "only" rock nd roll,you know... Highly recommended.
