This review is from: It's Now or Never - The Tribute to Elvis Presley (Audio CD)

This tribute album has some similarities with the Honeymoon in Vegas soundtrack, which also featured pop, rock and country stars paying tribute to Elvis, but this collection is not as strong overall. Nevertheless, there is some great music here.

Among the performances by country stars, Travis Tritt (Lawdy Miss Clawdy) and Dwight Yoakam (Mystery Train) both turn in rousing performances as expected but some of you may be surprised at the fine performance by Faith Hill (Trying to get to you). Faith has her critics but shows here that, given the right song and the right production, she is brilliant Of the other country recordings, my favorites are Don't be cruel (Marty Stuart) and Let me be your teddy bear (Tanya Tucker).

Highlights among the pop and rock performances include Aaron Neville (a soulful version of Young and beautiful), Chris Isaak (Blue moon), Bryan Adams (Hound dog) and Wet wet wet (It's now or never).

If you only want one Elvis tribute album, I recommend Honeymoon in Vegas. If you enjoy that and want more, this is worthy of consideration.
