Robert Gordon and Chris Spedding - It's Now or Never Review


by Gary Schwind

.
This is a great tribute album to songs performed by The King, but it comes with a warning. "If you are looking for an album by an Elvis impersonator, this is the wrong wone for you." Robert Gordon provides smooth vocals to accompany Chris Spedding's impeccable guitar.

Now, it would be easy to think that a tribute to the songs of Elvis would include all the favorites: "Jailhouse Rock," "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You," etc. And there are a couple of the old favorites such as "Don't Be Cruel" and "It's Now or Never." But this album goes beyond the songs you hear on oldies radio stations everywhere.

This album includes some forgotten gems such as "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone," and the grossly underrated "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care). The rumbling bass line, the lyrics, the whole thing. It's just a brilliant song.

Again, there isn't much more I can say about this. It is a terrific album with fifteen excellent rock n roll songs. And the sound is flawless. Each song captures the spirit of the original. So what are you waiting for? Roll up your jeans, get that hair in place with some Dapper Dan and get ready for a big dose of the hip-swiveling tunes of the Big E.
