Album Notes

Sometimes one comes across people who wonder what the big fuzz was all about. What made Elvis so special? The answer is of course complex and even Elvis fans are divided, but if there is one thing they all agree on, it's the melting pot magic!

Kent Wennman and his band have listened carefully and their third CD is a fitting tribute to the King with a lot of compassion and conviction. Even a novelty number like "Bossa Nova Baby" shows that not everything was a total disaster with Elvis's movies in the sixties. "Don't cry daddy", from his critically acclaimed American Sessions in 1969, is here delivered with a new interpretation and with a great country sound which I'm sure Elvis himself would have liked. And the bonus track, a live recording of an old Percy Mayfield number, "Stranger in my own home town", clearly shows that Orange is not just another tribute band. As one critic said: Their versions are as good as Elvis's!

Arranged & Produced by Kent Wennman & Sampo Axelsson with musical help from Tomas Arnesen, Janne Lindgren, Patrik Robertsson, Andreas Hellqvist & Jan Carlsson. Watch this tribute act on Youtube:

Discovering Elvis through Orange

I,ve never been an Elvis fan. I guess I was born a little too late to appreciate the king. So Bossa Nova Baby is more Orange then Elvis for me. I can't compare, or even say that one version is better then the other. But I think with this CD it really isn't relevent. Bossa Nova Baby is brilliant in it's own right. I won't be converted into an Elvis fan, but an Orange fan.

More Elvis from orange!

This minialbum proves that Elvis didn't die when he went into the army, as John Lennon once said. The best song is Bossa Nova Baby, here as a great Hammond organ shuffle. A countryrocking Moody Blue is a reminder, that behind Elvis fat productions of his last recordings, there were som great song. The other songs on this minialbum are great too, even if I sometimes miss the vocie of Elvis.

Orange deserves an international reputation

When John Lennon tried to explain to George Martin what kind of sound he wanted he said: "I want it to sound like an orange" A Swedish band remember this and call themselves ORANGE. Kent Wennman & Sampo Axelsson has recorded the album "Take a look on the inside", in a style inspired by both english pop and American country music. The band has also recorded 2 mini-albums with songs from Elvis Presley's repertoire. ORANGE & FRIENDS PERFORM IN THE GHETTO AND OTHER SONGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE KING from july 2003 had such a reception that a now comes a second mini album. BOSSA NOVA BABY & OTHER GREAT SONGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE KING with the title track treated well on Hammondorgan in the style of Georgie Fame, I really don't want to know, Moody Blue (fine pedal steel effects), Don't cry daddy (like a future modern country classic) and Stranger in my own home town, recorded live, also with a great Hammond organ. Nice song selection, competence, and real feeling. Orange deserves an international reputation.
