IL DELINQUENTE DEL ROCK & ROLL

Posted on March 23, 2008 by | Leave a comment

In the ElvisBlog column two weeks ago, I mentioned the DVD of Jailhouse Rock I bought in Rome while on vacation. For some reason, the Italians changed the title to Il Delinquente del Rock & Roll. I can’t figure out why they chose to do this, because Jailhouse Rock has a direct translation – Casa Carere Rock. Continue reading →

Posted on February 18, 2007 by | Leave a comment

In the early 60s, Elvis got into a routine of going to Nashville every spring to do recording sessions at RCA’s famed Studio B. These would be considered non-soundtrack sessions, because almost all other recording Elvis did during those years was for movie soundtracks. These annual spring recording sessions in Nashville in ’60, ’61, and ’62 produced a cache of songs to be released as singles. That is also the way it went after the recording sessions at Studio B on May 26-27, 1963. Continue reading →
