Blowin’ Off The Dust

21 Jul

I was blowin’ off the dust on one of my favorite Elvis LPs and noticed something. Anyone ever notice the similarity between the very cool Smith’s tracks “Rusholme Ruffians” and one of the coolest Elvis tracks ever “His Latest Flame” ….compare yourself

Smiths “Rusholme Ruffians”

Elvis “His Latest Flame”

Still these are two very cool songs to add your collection. Gotta love 60’s Hollywood Elvis.
