It may be the gateway to Whitehaven and Memphis' most iconic tourist attraction, but Elvis Presley Boulevard "has lost all visual and contextual cohesion" and "aesthetic quality," a new city plan says. That's a bureaucratic way of saying it's downright ugly. But a joint city and state initiative would provide a nearly $50 million makeover for a three-mile stretch of the Elvis Presley corridor, improving its appearance and safety while better accommodating pedestrians and bicyclists.
The city has applied for a federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant to help fund $20 million worth of improvements along the 1.6 miles of the boulevard from Craft Road south to Shelby Drive.
For the adjoining 1.3 miles between Craft and Brooks Road, the Tennessee Department of Transportation has pledged to spend $27 million on similar improvements over the next few years.
The enhancements are outlined in the "Elvis Presley Boulevard Revitalization Plan," which emphasizes the street's importance as a commercial, tourist and residential artery. The boulevard is the route traveled by some 17 million visitors to Graceland over the last 29 years, and it serves as a gateway to Whitehaven and the "aerotropolis" being developed around Memphis International Airport. Some 31,000 vehicles travel it daily, according to TDOT figures.
Yet long stretches of the street are lined with fast-food joints, title-loan businesses, low-end motels, shuttered businesses, vacant parking lots and gauntlets of utility poles and wires. The result is a "disconcerting visual clutter" that diminishes safety and economic vitality, the plan states.
The city project, which could begin by late 2013, would rebuild Elvis Presley Boulevard by relocating overhead utilities and installing landscaped or specially designed medians and new street lighting. It also would add or rebuild sidewalks, curbs and gutters and provide for upgraded crosswalks, shared vehicle-bicycle lanes and improved bus stops.
The result, said City Engineer John Cameron, would be a more complete road. "Right now, it's a very auto-related street," he said. The Tiger grant would bring in $12 million, with the city and Shelby County chipping in $7 million and $1 million, respectively.
Cameron said that while the project would help Graceland -- and an expansion planned by Elvis Presley Enterprises -- others would benefit, too, including business owners, residents and the larger community.
"It's not strictly about the tourism," he said. Jack Soden, CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises, concurred, saying the boulevard is a gateway to several neighborhoods and commercial areas. Improving it could help boost property values, leading to increased tax revenues, he said.
The project also could improve Memphis' image, Soden said, noting that "people from all over the world" travel the boulevard. "We've been interested in improving the appearance of Elvis Presley Boulevard for over 20 years," he said.
Elvis Presley Enterprises, whose parent firm, CKx, was purchased by a private-equity group this year, has been working on plans to add attractions in the Graceland area. But those plans are being "reshaped" in the wake of the economic downturn, Soden said. Attendance at Graceland hovered around 600,000 annually for many years, but it has dipped this year as a result of the poor economy and what Soden describes as sensationalized reports in the national media about Mississippi River flooding this spring.
Touchdown Productions' tenth release is a double CD set wich includes two Shows from Elvis' second "Summer Festival" in 1971. In a year with no multitracks available and very few soundboard recordings in circulation, very good to excellent audience recordings are to be treasured.

Bonus Tracks: : Musical Highlights 1954-1976
Burning Love, - take 1, March 31, 1972 One of the last true rock and roll hits for The King. Here we have a rare version from the 'ELVIS ON TOUR' tapes Way Down - Spliced take , october 29/30, 1976 Recorded in the Jungle Room, in the privacy of Elvis' home. After Elvis' passing this song reached the number one position in the UK in august 1977 Moody Blue - Overdubbed (edited) master, february 4/5, 1976 Title song of Elvis' last studio album and a huge European hit. How Great Thou Art - June 10, 1975 Great live version, recorded at the Midsouth Colliseum, one year after his grammy award winning version of this beautiful gospel song. What Now My Love - January 14, 1973 From Elvis' famous TV broadcast 'Aloha From Hawaii By Satellite' . A true materpiece. An American Trilogy, February 14, 1972 M.S. One of the highlights of an Elvis Presley Performance in the 1970s. This version was recorded 2 days before the original master version, which was released as a single in the same year. Bridge Over Troubled Water - August 12, 1970 M.S. Die hard Elvis fans believe this show was the best he ever did, this great version was not chosen for the movie, but could easily have made it to the final print. I Just Cant Help Believing, August 13, 1970 D.S. Another great song recorded during the third Vegas Engagement, although Elvis had trouble learning the lyrics, he produced an excellent live version released as a single, here is an alternate version recorded one day later. Polk Salad Annie - February 18, 1970 D.S. Another highlight and fan favorite of the Elvis Presley shows, introduced in his second Vegas Season Long Black Limousine - spliced take. This song set the standard for what would come. The very first song recorded at the American Sound Studios in 1969, could have easily, if released as a single, made it to the top ten. A Little Less Conversation , June 24, 1968 (vocal overdubb) When Elvis opened his 1968 comeback special with the words: 'If Youre Looking for Trouble', little did he know that, a song recorded during these sessions, would be a number one hit 34 years later. Remixed by Dutch DJ JXL, the song was the theme for the 2002 FIFA Worldcup Finals. On this set, you'll hear the original recording. Bossa Nova Baby take 3, January 22, 1963 Although Jailhouse Rock was considered to be Elvis finest movie dancing performance, the Bossa Nova Baby sequence of the 1963 movie 'Fun In Acapulco', might be underrated, and also an acknowledge Elvis that could still move in the 1960s! Blue Hawaii - take 3, March 22, 1961 Although the movie was a big international succes, it was also a turning point in the career of Elvis, attempts to re-create its succes, almost killed him as a professional singer. He Know Just What I Need - take 9, Oktober 30, 1960. Elvis wanted to be a singer in a gospel quartet, how lucky we are he didnt make it, but gospel music is highly appreciated by fans, here you find a rare outtake from Elvis first sacred album His Hand in Mine, not released on the FTD 'classic album' release. Wear My Ring Around Your Neck - Undubbed Master (with count in), February 1, 1958. A real rock and roll gemm, recorded by Elvis while he was in the army.Despite the Rickys, Bobbys and Fabians, he was still the King of popular music! I Got A Woman - alternate take , January 10, 1956 Attemps to record this song were made at Sun Studios, but after singing up with RCA, this was the first track that was recorded. I Love You Because - take 3, july 5, 1954 Recorded at Sun Studios, during his very first commercial recording session, minutes later Rock and Roll was born when That's All Right was recorded. Thats All Right - take 3, july 5, 1954. Heres where it all started for popular music. Rock and Roll was born, and nothing would ever be the same.

Such A Night In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii: For God And Country
Such A Night In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii: For God And Country
Memphis Recording Service in association with JAT Productions will release the next Elvis Presley title Such A Night in Pearl Harbor in March 2012. It will contain a completely new re-mastered CD of Elvis performance of the benefit concert recorded at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on March 25th 1961 to aid of the USS Arizona Memorial Fund.
The quality is of this concert is far superior than anything of this ever released before and will now be considered, one of the best Elvis concert recordings up until that time. Amazing samples of this will be available in the coming week.
Elvis performs 15 songs and sings every one as if it were the first time he had ever presented them to an audience. This includes many #1 hits and includes classics that were never performed previously or again such as A Fool Such As I, I Need Your Love Tonight and more.
Also included for the first time ever, is the 30 minute radio broadcast from Hawaii a week before Elvis arrival. It promoted the concert for the memorial fund, playing selected tracks from Elvis Christmas and His Hand in Mine album, released at that time including words by Elvis Presley.
As a bonus, the CD is accompanied by a 100 page hard back book that contains many rare photographs with extensive and informative linear notes detailing Elvis arrival and performance in Hawaii.
Hawaii: For God And Country
A couple of hours later we received news that the unknown label 3764 BLVD Publishing will release the same material with the title Hawaii: For God And Country on March 26.
Their press-release:
The complete benefit show for the Arizona Memorial fund plus the radio broadcast from Uncle Toms Cabin a few days earlier to promote the Elvis Show. This historical show is the only one available of the only 3 shows given in the 60s before Elvis disappeared from the stage for 8 years. Only 3 days later he started filming Blue Hawaii.
The audio is remastered and optimized for maximum listing pleasure; priority has been given to historical value. Nevertheless it will be a thrill to discover the excitement of the only Elvis Show in 1961 recorded to date. The sound on this release is a significant improvement over earlier versions. A 24 page booklet accompanies the CD (with more than 74 minutes running time), to give detailed background info + many rare photos in b&w and in color. Also included are clippings, articles and items from the show and the fund raising.
THE FIRST 1000 copies will just like in 1961 be numbered

Graceland Records releases the legendary vinyl bootleg The Hillbilly Cat Live on CD. Hopefully this CD will be as legendary as the vinyl version.
Press-release
Graceland Records is planning a new CD release, a digipack with gorgeous photos and liner notes plus technical information. It features one of the best shows from his August Las Vegas engagement, namely the August 23rd, 1970 dinner show, taken from the original unspoiled a tremendous audience recording! This recording was partly released in 1970 on vinyl as "The Hillbilly cat, Live", but it was a combined version of 2 different shows, August 23rd dinner and 24th Midnight show. The sound quality was great for the time the time. Rumors were that a professional recording (soundboard) was used. This is not the case; a stereo tape recorder was used directly in front of the center stage. Graceland Records was lucky enough to work with the original audiocassette. These days the possibilities to improve an audience tape are far greater than they were in 1970, so this recording now sounds significantly better than it did on the 1970 vinyl bootleg. Now Finally for the first time ever on CD. One of the first bootlegs ever, "THE HILLBILLY CAT LIVE" A much sought-after double album from Canada, released back in 1970 with a mix of two shows, edited to create one powerhouse performance. Now for the first time the complete tape recording of the first of these 2 shows: the August 23rd 1970 dinner show, which was only partly released on the double album and now in full, with only the last part of "Suspicious Minds" & "Can't help falling In Love" repaired with audio from the August 24th midnight show. Due to a little mistake the tape was turned off too fast, but he wrote down the set list.
This show is hilarious, wild and loose: Elvis was in great spirits & the Hollywood cameras were gone. The many false starts indicates that he was fooling around and having a great time doing it.. With probably the craziest intro ever to "Hound Dog", a wild and rocking version. With great renditions of "Tiger Man" "That's all Right" and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" All phenomenal performances..
A fantastic and entertaining show where he combines humor and true entertainment. A sparkling show with no weak spots. Elvis was on top of his game ! This is definitively one of the finest performances of this season.
Do not miss your chance to obtain another winner from Graceland records!

Elvis Presley would literally give you the shirt off his back, says Larry Strickland, who as a member of J.D. Sumner & The Stamps sang backup for Elvis in his last years.
Strickland recalls during the making of one album, they were all hanging out at Graceland, when Elvis announced he was getting rid of his old wardrobe. He called each member of the group upstairs to give them some of his discarded clothes.
"I would look at him and say, 'Yeah Elvis, I can have that hemmed up; I can make that work,' " Strickland says with a chuckle. "I walked away with three or four of his shirts and one of his kind of outfits. It wasn't a stage outfit, but it looked like it could have been."
Strickland still has his Elvis garments, more as mementos rather than as actual articles of clothing. But this weekend the Nashville resident, who went on to great success as a singer and manager outside of The Stamps, will slip back into his Elvis shirt figuratively for one of his semi-regular reunions with surviving members of The Stamps. As part of this week's Elvis birthday celebration, Strickland and the Stamps will perform Saturday morning at the Graceland Ticket Pavilion. In the afternoon, the Stamps and others will participate in "Conversations on Elvis" at the Memphis Marriott East.
"I figured out the other day that I'm probably the youngest guy left of everybody that toured with Elvis on stage," says Strickland, who at 65 is three years younger than his predecessor in the Stamps, the Oak Ridge Boys' Richard Sterban. "I'm going to be the last man standing if I keep my health."
Strickland was born a pastor's son in North Carolina. From an early age, his father would take him to "gospel singings," where he first got hooked on the music. Growing up, some of his favorite performers were Sumner and the Palmetto State Quartet from neighboring South Carolina.
As a teen, Strickland began performing in a series of gospel groups, breaking only briefly for military service. He was back at it in 1974 when he got the call to audition for The Stamps, who had started with Elvis three years earlier.
"... I literally went from being a weekend, part-time kind of singer to full time on stage with Elvis overnight," he says of his heady change in circumstance.
Strickland stayed with The Stamps through Elvis' death in 1977 until the group's breakup in 1980.
"We still traveled," he says of the last years. "Of course after (Elvis) died our shows turned into tribute shows. A lot of our programs were about him. A lot of Elvis fans instead of gospel fans were coming to see us, so we were having to do all these tributes singing his music. We would do the gospel songs that we did with him, and J.D. would sit around reminiscing about Elvis."
Frustrated, Strickland and some other members of the group left to form a country band. Strickland found greater success, however, working behind the scenes as a producer and manager. Most notably, he helmed the career of his wife of 22 years, country star Naomi Judd of The Judds, after their 1989 marriage.
"It was very interesting but much harder," says Strickland of the transition to the role he still fills for Judd. "There was a lot of detail stuff and having to go from an artist and being in a position where I was the one being catered to being the one who had to do all the catering."
Except for his periodic Stamps reunion, Strickland stayed away from singing until 2008, when he was recruited by his old favorites The Palmetto State Quartet to sing bass. A year later, he bought the group name from retiring senior member Kerry Beatty. Since then the group, recently expanded to a quintet, has adopted a busy tour schedule, traveling last year with the reunited Judds among others. Last spring they released a new CD of country-style gospel, Grace.
"One thing led to another and next thing you know I'm back in it full time," says Strickland, who will return to Memphis in August, the 35th anniversary of Presley's death, for an "Elvis in Concert" event featuring surviving band members performing to old concert footage of the King. "The music just draws you in. I love gospel music. And I just love Southern gospel quartet style of music."
