I really think this is pretty historic in that we were able to capture members of Elvis Presley's original band: Scotty Moore, Elvis' lead guitar player, DJ Fontana, Elvis' drummer, the Jordanaires, Elvis' original background vocal group, along with members of Roy Orbison's band: Bucky Barrett, lead guitarist, Jim (Turbo) Kirby, keyboard player for Roy and Richard Law, Roy's background vocalist. This is the first and only project that both groups collaborated on. Many of the songs, which are personal favorites of mine, these guys played on the originals with Elvis and here I am so fortunate to have them on this cd.
The title song of the cd So This Is Love is a song written by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees. It was the goal to have Roy record and release this beautiful song but his untimely passing prevented that from happening. Bill released it on a cd and was kind enough to allow me to release it as well. The other songs on the cd are songs that I have spent years listening to and loving and I am so pleased to share them with you.
