Opinion: WHAT HAPPENED TO ELVIS PRESLEY'S CASINO

29 Nov 2009 02:49:34 PST

Written by Phil Arnold
I'm not terribly sad about the prospects of no Elvis Presley Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. As I told Holly, I would be quite happy if some smaller Elvis attractions opened up. My complete answer was: It certainly would have been the destination of choice for fans coming to Las Vegas intending...

Review - Elvis: Vegas '69 Hardcover Book

31 Jul 2009 22:56:21 PDT

Elvis: Vegas '69 is without doubt the best book on Elvis Presley produced to-date And it is something altogether new .... It is not a photo book ... It is not an information book ... It is not an interview book. Yes it has all three elements - and in abundance - but the way it is formatted -- presented -- is com...

18 Jul 2009 16:10:00 PDT

Written by Phil Arnold
International Hotel, Las Vegas, During Elvis’ 1969 Run Elvis rolled into Las Vegas in July 1969 on top of his game. The ’68 Comeback Special had recharged his career, as did “In The Ghetto,” his huge Top 10 hit in early 1969. But, the Sun’s reviewers still wanted to cut Elvis down a bit.

Opinion: STRANGE GOOGLE SEARCHES THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TO ELVISBLOG

25 Apr 2009 13:14:56 PDT

Written by Phil Arnold
“black midget Elvis”: Apparently there is no such thing. Many sites, including ElvisBlog, made reference to both Black Elvis and Midget Elvis, but apparently no enterprising black midget has tried to become an Elvis Tribute Artist. Will someone please step forward and fill this gapi...

Review : From Nashville To Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters 5 CD Box

30 Mar 2009 10:36:51 PDT

During the 1960's Elvis Presley produced a lot of good material, but some not so good as well. From Nashville To Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters, which covers 5 CD's and 130 tracks, gathers most of his superior material and fortunately ignores a great deal of the inferior. His best album...

Opinion: Elvis Presley’s Strangest Christmases

22 Dec 2008 01:51:20 PST

Written by Destiny
But maybe Elvis had already gotten the ultimate revenge in 1971. Five years before his death, Elvis gathered his posse into his den, according to a gossip item Guralnick quotes in Careless Love. Each hanger-on remembered the previous year, when Elvis had given out several new Mercedes — an...

12 Dec 2008 09:31:37 PST

Written by Brody Vercher
It’s been ten years since Elvis Presley appeared on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, but he logged his second entry in two weeks with the No. 43 debut of Martina McBride’s duet on “Blue Christmas.” That follows last week’s No. 60 bow of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” with Carrie Underwood. It...

Music Review: Roy Orbison - The Soul of Rock and Roll

24 Oct 2008 06:50:29 PDT

Written by Lou Novacheck
It’s hard to believe Orbison died nearly 20 years ago. In less than 60 days, an entire generation will have passed. Far, far too many people who never knew his voice. Roy Orbison was the personification of a Baby Boomer’s epitome of rock and roll. Not one of the bad boys, and probably not a saint, b...

Opinion: VIVA LAS STAR WARS

06 Jul 2008 03:03:02 PDT

Written by Phil Arnold
I'm a huge Elvis fan, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to figure out why the race seemed so familiar. It didn't hit me until I was watching 1964's Viva Las Vegas, Elvis' fifteenth movie, one day last year. Though some of these connections are admittedly a stretch, several of the similaritie...

DVD Review: Elvis Presley - The Ed Sullivan Shows

18 Jan 2007 16:07:30 PST

Written by Brandon Daviet
These days it’s often contested, especially by the hip-hop community, if Presley deserves his long-standing title of “The King,” but there is no denying that in the late '50s Presley’s popularity made the success of American Idol look like boring reruns of C-SPAN Senate hearings.Music...
