4 out of 5 stars Quality CD.......2001-01-07

Slim Jim can do no wrong in my eyes, but this is a great album. The boys have taken each of these songs and given them a touch of individuality. Super Rockabilly mixed with swing and even some heavy metal. Really entertaining, and gets played over and over again in my household.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING TRIBUTE TO THE KING.......2000-03-15

This collection of Elvis songs is amazing, entertaining and a lot of fun. Where else can you hear Lemmy from Motorhead singing Good Rockin' Tonight with Johnny Ramone blasting out his signature "distorted" guitar power chords behind him only too be followed on the next track with Lemmy singing in a bluesy, quiet, voice with just a simple acoustic guitar, bass and snare backing track? Every song on this CD has a personality of its own and hearing all these great artists playing the songs that first inspired them to be musicians in the first place is a real joy and very enlightening. Since I bought this CD over a week ago I've been playing it constantly. This is one of those rare CD's that sound great on first listen but still actually gets better each additional time you hear it again. I know I've turned a lot people onto this CD by playing it all day long at work. Special Note: Kathy Valentine, bassist from THE GO-GO's, does an incredible guitar solo on Crawfish!

1 out of 5 stars A Big Dissapointment.......2000-03-07

I have never been more dissapointed with CD like this one. Many if not all of these voices do not fit with the music. Thats a first no-no. The second thing is the style this music is played in. Elvis had a traditional style of music that was proportionate to the era it was being introduced. It should stay that way. Experiments like these should be left in the garage, I mean what's with the super heavy distortion on the guitar? It doesn't fit. Third, Lenny Kilmister, Michael Desbarres, and Jamie James voices do not justify Elviss'voice at all. They were I'm sorry to say "horrible". Let's respect what Bing Crosby thought was amazing voice. This album would have been better and a better use of Slim Jims' time without these three guys and the heavily distorted guitar. I definitely would not call this a tribute to the great Elvis Presley.
