"Whether it's adding a different spin or simply revealing hidden depths, a good cover version should always bring something new to a song. This collection of Elvis Presley covers from jazz singer and cabaret queen Barb Jungr manages to do both marvellously. From a slow and stripped-back "Heartbreak Hotel", with only piano and harp accompanying it, through to a spooky "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", these versions brilliantly bring out the haunting beauty of some of Elvis Presley's biggest hits. In the process, they make you feel as if you're hearing the all-too familiar songs for the very first time. A must-have. ****" (Daily Express, Marcus Dunk, 2005)
Britain's foremost chansonnier with a song-styled take on material sung by Elvis Presley.
