Re: Best EC Album of the Past 10 years
You have misinterpreted the reactions of these guys. For one thing, they wouldn't work with him if they didn't think he could sing. More to the point, I have spoken to singers who have worked with EC and most of them are amazed at how good he is ... and also at how BIG his voice is. Remember, he ca...

I think Stranger in the House is incredibly trite...even for a country song. Elvis has written a hundred better.alexv wrote:I will say that the song EC wrote for Jones to record, the one on TL, is a terrific country song, best EC ever wrote.

Re: EC to Tour Australia in October
Ah well, guess he was due a trip down under. I was hoping for some European dates before the end of the year, but this seems unlikely if the report is true about filming a 2nd season of Spectacle before the end of the year.. Still, that's good news in itself. So a concert debut in Singapore before A...

Re: Elvis in new Pogues box set , May 2008
Did I once hear about (the existence of) a version of Viva las Vegas featuring Elvis, Shane and possibly Tom Waits?
Reckon there must be quite a few Elvis/Pogues outtakes on some cutting room floor...

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Oh and there's an instrumental bit on The Juliet Letters that is ripped directly from one of the Shostakovich string quartets can't recall which. Ripped?

What Davey may lack in bass technicalities he MORE than makes up for in backing vocals. Many songs sound better for it, including some that wouldn't have been risked without backing vox. Gotta move on. Bruce is fantastic, but if he's a miserable .. What y gonna do
