"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.
