The songs on the CD appeal to me for many reasons, not just because Elvis sang them. Even though it was many years ago, the music and lyrics are still relevant today. They're all about love and life, and have a universal appeal. It transcends time. The music reflects emotions that we've all felt at one time or another -- loneliness, fear and vulnerability, love and desire. Overall, there's a sense of optimism in this collection of songs, which appeals to me because I'm an optimistic person by nature.
I've always had a lot of respect for Elvis Presley's talent as an artist and performer, and the way he was able to communicate and convey emotions. He sang from the heart, and that's why he touched so many people.
"Another interesting aspect of this CD is that I am interpreting Elvis' songs from a female perspective. Jennifer Warnes did the same thing when she sang Leonard Cohen's music."
The 12 songs on this CD are meant as a fitting tribute to the incredible singer, artist and performer -- truly The King.
Personnel:
Maggie Blue (vocals)
Greg Geeves (keyboards, synthesizer)
Mario Gilbert (flute, sacxophone, clarinet, blues harmonica)
Ronald MacPrough (guitar)
