A Guitar For Elvis
CD  (2010)
Cat# CD-842
$15.45

Here are 14 classic Elvis Presley tunes arranged for solo guitar (and one duet) by 13 great fingerstyle guitarists, including the above mentioned, plus classical maestro Benjamin Verdery, bluesman Kenny Sultan, and Dutch virtuoso Eltjo Haselhoff, among others. Highlights include Juber's "Suspicious Minds", Donohue's "All Shook Up", Verdery's experimental version of "Don't Be Cruel", and a rocking duet of "Viva Las Vegas" by Mark Hanson and Doug Smith that rescues the tune from the clutches of the advertising juggernaut of Madison Avenue (if you get our drift!).

This album has been accepted by the Elvis.com website, and by the DJs who man the around-the-clock Elvis station for Sirius XM!
