Elvis’ influence runs so deep through popular music that a collection like this, featuring songs the Pelvis made famous, brings together artists as diverse as Carl Perkins, Billy Joel, Alison Moyet and Meat Loaf. It’s exhilarating to hear an early Rod Stewart belt out “That’s Alright” and Linda Ronstadt coo through “Love Me Tender.” Kudos to the compilers for including Mac Davis’ own version of “In the Ghetto,” the classic song he penned for Elvis, and Billy Swan’s stark, chilling take on “Don’t Be Cruel.”
