"Ronnie McDowell has long been associated with the music of Elvis Presley, having been employed as Elvis' singing voice in several films and television shows. McDowell also enjoys a successful career in his own right, with country hits spanning from the 70s to the early 90s. In 1997 he recorded this 20 track Elvis tribute in his usual tasteful and exciting style. What makes the project extra special is the musical backing provided by Elvis' original guitarist (Scotty Moore), drummer (DJ Fontana) and vocal backing by the fabulous Jordanaires. Standout tracks include One Broken Heart For Sale, with a slightly reworked vocal line to the original, plus fantastic, rockin' versions of Got A Lot O'Livin' To Do, Lawdy Miss Clawdy and King Creole. It's also a delight to hear Ronnie cover ballads including Love Me, It Hurts Me - one of Elvis' most under-rated songs - and Crying In The Chapel. The album closes with the only original song, Tupelo's Too Far, which illustrates Ronnie's individual talent. Forget the majority of bloated Elvis impersonators who embarrass themselves and the memory of the legend. Ronnie McDowell's tribute to his hero is faultless and should encourage the listener to buy Ronnie's own CDs which maintain the quality of this release."

Elvis would be so PROUD.

"I think this man has more talent in his little pinky than most of the artist you hear over and over on the radio 20 times a day! I know I speak for MOST Americans out there, when I say I wish they would give us more variety to listen to over the radio, and play some of the older artists too! They are still just as popular and talented today, and I wish we heard more of them! I GIVE THIS ALBUM, ALONG WITH OTHERS OF RONNIE'S 2 THUMBS UP! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, WE LOVE YOU!"
