If you were in charge of BMG and was allowed to release one Elvis CD

I'd pick Just Pretend with Heart of Rome as a bonus track

I wish Elvis had recorded more blues material. Unfortunately he didn't. After the "Elvis Country" album came out the rumor was he would next do an all blues album. A Rolling Stone review of "Elvis Country" stated in their opinion that was something Elvis needed to do next. It never happened and its a shame.

What I would do is get the TCB Band together, and have them record some new - backing tracks (with todays modern sound) to some of Elvis' rockers (ex: Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, Promised Land, Way Down, Burning Love, etc...)

Call the cd...ELVIS2K
