I'm actually a fan of a lot of his work. And the Elvis station on satellite radio really digs deep into the Elvis vault and plays some rare and good shit.

A re-styled version of the Elvis Presley hit "Suspicious Minds" hit radio stations today, part of an album being released later this year featuring newer, more contemporary takes on many of his hits. "Suspicious Minds" is the first single off "Viva Elvis-The Album," set for mass release Nov. 9. The 12-track compilation is a companion piece to the Las Vegas show "Viva Elvis" by Cirque du Soleil, which began in February.

If you can get your hands on "Elvis -- In A Private Moment", it's worth a listen. Some rare, amateur recordings. Including an a cappella version of the song "I, John". Pretty raw emotional stuff.

Fun fact...Elvis's bass player Jerry Scheff, was the bassist for The Doors on the L.A. Woman album. Apparently Jim was a huge Elvis fan, liked the guys work, and called him up to join The Doors.

Im really digging that alt version of Suspicious Minds, has a bit of a U2 feel to it, I always prefered Elvis's live versions of that over the studio, Tutt and Scheff simple rock out.
Tutt and Scheff being the best damn rythem section ever, yes, even better than those guys form the Led Balloon
