Los Angeles/New York (PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -Is it the second Comeback for Elvis Presley? However you brand it, believe it, or see it; The Dream Lives! Over the last year and half, the young singer/songwriter John Krondes continues to beat the odds and the laws of the universe. After meeting the Jordanaires in Las Vegas a few years ago, and recording his Dad's song "The End," Krondes has found a new beginning both for himself and Elvis in music. The very same song "The End" that Elvis sang to Priscilla on the night they met has become the seed that harvested the return of All The King's Men to the studio. The music making relationship of John Krondes and The Jordanaires has mushroomed to include now virtually all of Elvis Presley's original "Hit Team."
The laws of nature have been suspended in this remarkable story of John Krondes and the Elvis "Hit Making team". The supernatural powers at be in Rock 'n Roll heaven continue to shun the nay sayers and disbelievers as the dream lives on. Many of the faithful Elvis followers now see these fateful series of meetings between the King's men and John Krondes as occurences that are above nature and above man. For the very first time since Elvis died in 1977, through this eerie "whatchamacallit" project, The "TCB" Band, Elvis' Memphis studio band "The Memphis Boys", the Sweet Inspirations, Jordanaires, Elvis Writers, Producers, and Elvis' best friend Joe Esposito have flocked together to make new music.
Guiness Book of World Records watch out. This past week has witnessed the new addition of D.J. Fontana and Millie Kirkham to the Elvis "Hit Making Team." Elvis Presley's very first drummer and Elvis singer Millie Kirham rocked with John Krondes and Elvis Presley's "Memphis Boys" band at Masterfonics recording studio in Nashville last week. Just months shy of completing the first compilation of new music in nearly 30 years together, the addition of D.J. and Millie completed the Elvis circle and sent a few new shock waves through the Elvis World.
Elvis composer Paul Evans wrote two new songs with singer/songwriter John Krondes for the latest Nashville sessions and pulled a couple more rabbits out of his hat. The Evans/Krondes team wrote a new arrangement on Paul Evans song "Something Blue" which Elvis recorded in 1962. Both D.J. Fontana and the Jordanaires with Millie
