Love it! Worth every penny I paid for it.

The Residents do Elvis! With a nice storyline interpolated.
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2002
If you've ever been tempted to listen to something by The Residents,this album of Elvis covers,is a good place to start.
I would not recommend this to Elvis purists,but I would recommend it to Elvis fans with a sense of humour,and a love of techno/gothy sounds.
The Residents present the story of the rise and fall of America's true King,as told to children by their grandfather. ( You really had to see the stage show for the full visual effect.)
A nice twist to all this,since most early rock and roll was considered "devil music",is that nearly all the songs have been turned into hellish dirges,giving us HELLVIS! For example:"His Latest Flame" goes from simple love lost song to stalker haunted by memories of old girlfriend. "Return To Sender" goes from disappointed boyfriend to man living in total denial of all reality. This is not to say the songs all come off as sad and gruesome,you'll actually find yourself laughing and singing along.
The story is told with humour,and sympathy,even when the British invasion happens. ( In the form of sampling,while the King tries to sing "Love Me Tender",and is eventually drowned out! )
Definitely one of The Residents best releases,and easily one of the most accessable.

I was incredibly happy when at long last I found this on Amazon! Have been looking for it all over the place since I heard at a friend's party many years back. It's just a delightful and funny listening! It is actually a tribute to The King but in a mockery way. Think Elvis himself would love this too.
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2004
I will start out by saying that I do not fully understand the Resident's theory of making music about making music, but I am still trying. This cd is a darker(relative to the original songs) story of the King of rock. The mood depicts the decline and self destruction of Elvis. Songs like Return to Sender and Blue Suede shoes are truely better done in a more bitter way than with the 3 swell guys behind Elvis so happy about everything. This was part of the ill fated American Music Series and is the best of those.

Better than the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra versions of Elvis songs
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2017
This is the original version of The King and Eye which is also available as a re-mix. Dark versions of Elvis songs but far more honest and true to the spirit of Elvis than recent Royal Philharmonic Orchestra versions of Elvis songs.
