Album Notes

Another great and fitting tribute to the King, not burdened with pathetic soundalikes and lookalikes. This is an ultracool, intellectual tribute to the mature Elvis of the late sixties and the seventies. With its Low-fi country style and beautiful arrangement, this record will give you a completely new picture of Elvis and his music. How come a Swedish band understands an American icon better than the Americans do?

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!

The band Orange 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!
