The King--Gravelands
"Gravelands"
The King, 1999

     You've heard of channeling, where some medium takes on the persona of a spirit they've invited down from the neitherworld. Well, the ghost Elvis Presley is alive and well in the guise of James Brown, a 31-year-old, Belfast postman who has redubbed himself "The King." Elvis was known for taking other's songs and making them his and making them hits, but people have long wondered what song he would have tackled if he were alive today. In Gravelands we get the Elvis treatment on such classics as Jimmy Hendrix's "Voodoo Child," Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry," AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie," and Motown/Stax standards "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and "Dock Of The Bay." Listen to The King take on Nirvana's "Come As You Are" (in real audio) and hear the magic for yourself.
