Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Imagine what a world it would be like if Elvis Presley hadn't died, weaned himself of drugs, got back in shape and went on to keep recording. Well, The King is one Elvis imitator that dares to dream of this scenario and make it come true as well. His singing voice is dead on accurate in the guise of Presley's and while this may be sacrilege to some, it presents some interesting possibilities to others. For this debut, The King meets Nirvana, Marvin Gaye, T. Rex, Joy Division, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix.. and ultimately, The King's rendition of the theme to "New York New York". Adopt your willing suspension of disbelief and imagine.....

3.0 out of 5 stars James Brown is The King, April 22, 2004
The King is James Brown, an Irish postman. He was discovered singing Elvis songs at a karaoke bar. A record producer had the idea to record the Nirvana song "Come As You Are" with an Elvis impersonator, and he was struck by how much Brown sounded like Elvis. Yes, he actually does sound a lot like Elvis. Anyway, after they recorded the Nirvana song, they decided to record a whole album of songs by dead rockers. Yes, it's an album of songs by dead people sung by an Elvis impersonator. Somewhat surprisingly, the songs are played "straight". The songs aren't played for laughs at all. They are somewhat interesting for the most part, with "Come As You Are" being the best of the lot. If that sounds like something you would be interested in, here it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars The King is wonderful, April 5, 2003
By A Customer
I believe that anyone who loves Elvis will love this album, ("Gravelands"), and "Return to Splender". His rendition of "Song to the Siren" is haunting and lovely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis is Back!, August 19, 2008
According to the liner notes, James Brown was dubbed "the King" by the ghost of Elvis. Excellent choice, E! This guy is great.

I love a good cover version of a familiar song. Hell, I love a bad version.

But these are GOOD. It's amazing. I think the haunting version of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" is the best on here, but there are several incredible performances.

Kudos to the production team as well. They didn't try to make it sound like the music from 1977 or 1968 or 1954 (whichever Elvis was your favorite). They go with a modern production style. Excellent.

James "the King" Brown pays homage well...

5.0 out of 5 stars Why is it soooo expensive?
I've heard a few King's covers on dead artists and I find them very stylish, but in Croatia I can't find the album. I would order it, but it is tooooo expensive.
