Exceptional Elvis tribute CD
author: Shaun H. and the RadioIndy Reviewer Team
                            
Elvis is reborn with the sounds of Mark Shelton’s newest disc, “At the Gates of Graceland.” Shelton fuses the vocal qualities of “The King” and Perry Como together to create his own unforgettable sound. The most obvious tribute to Elvis comes through in the track “I Believe” which delivers his vocal expressions with pure eloquence. Anyone familiar with the classic sounds of The Inkspots will love the song “Crying in the Chapel” with lovely piano fills and harmonies sweetly balancing with Shelton’s vocals. Shelton has revealed shades of memorable vocals which pays tribute to what was probably Elvis’ most endearing work, his spiritual songs. Any fan of spiritual and uplifting music relating to this phase in Presley’s career will thoroughly enjoy listening to “At the Gates of Graceland.”
