Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Quality CD.......2001-01-07

Slim Jim can do no wrong in my eyes, but this is a great album. The boys have taken each of these songs and given them a touch of individuality. Super Rockabilly mixed with swing and even some heavy metal. Really entertaining, and gets played over and over again in my household.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING TRIBUTE TO THE KING.......2000-03-15

This collection of Elvis songs is amazing, entertaining and a lot of fun. Where else can you hear Lemmy from Motorhead singing Good Rockin' Tonight with Johnny Ramone blasting out his signature "distorted" guitar power chords behind him only too be followed on the next track with Lemmy singing in a bluesy, quiet, voice with just a simple acoustic guitar, bass and snare backing track? Every song on this CD has a personality of its own and hearing all these great artists playing the songs that first inspired them to be musicians in the first place is a real joy and very enlightening. Since I bought this CD over a week ago I've been playing it constantly. This is one of those rare CD's that sound great on first listen but still actually gets better each additional time you hear it again. I know I've turned a lot people onto this CD by playing it all day long at work. Special Note: Kathy Valentine, bassist from THE GO-GO's, does an incredible guitar solo on Crawfish!
