Shoeless

Blue Suede Shoes

Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - You Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog: A Tribute To the Life and Times of Elvis

Elvis Presley, our fair king of rock 'n roll, would've celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday this year on this day (January 8th). Scarlett O'Sara and I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate the legacy he left us in both country and blues music (and music as a whole, for that matter). With that, we brought you four solid hours of the King's finest. Hope you enjoyed it.


Rest In Peace | Elvis Aaron Presley
