For many of us the early Sun Records era Elvis featuring his acoustic rhythm guitar playing not only defined the look of rock n roll but also its sound and drive. Imitators come and go but we offer up a completely fresh tribute to Elvis by Grammy winners, rock stars and renowned guitarists from around the world. These rootsy, bluesy, folky and even experimental versions of some of his classic tunes are in keeping with his love of those musical styles and his trend setting persona.
