Many fans will be happy to know that the big surprise of 'The Original Elvis Tribute’ 2012 tour, Ginger & Mary Holladay, will be back again. On the highly successful spring ’12 tour, they delighted the crowds with their great voices and warm personalities. This time they will be reunited for the first time in 40 years with fellow backing vocalist Carol Montgomery, whose voice can be heard on 11 of Elvis’ original albums, starting with ‘From Elvis In Memphis’ from '69 and ending with the ‘Fool’ album from ’73. This tour marks the first time that Carol Montgomery (also listed in some session books as Sonja Montgomery) will be appear in an Elvis-related show.
Tour dates are as follows:

This massive most comprehensive 450 page volume is packaged and housed the same as Boxcar’s previous outing of “Elvis Presley’s Graceland through the Years” released earlier this year.
The text book comprises of hundreds upon hundreds of photographs many of which have never before been seen. Also collected here exclusively are scores of historical memorabilia and the Colonels original internal documents and scripts. This is intended to create a time-travel experience of sorts documenting the most groundbreaking event in the annals of television history.
On January 14th 1973 “Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii - Via Satellite” was the first live concert to be televised live with a global viewing audience of 1.5 Billion. An audience larger than man's first landing on the moon! From the ‘making of’ to the show itself, the reader enjoys reliving the magic of this extraordinary event and is sufficiently reminded that 1,500,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong!
More details with further artwork in January 2013.

Update November 15, 2012
We have just received a copy of the book '' Walk A Mile In My Shoes '' co-produced by Elvis For Everyone and Rock Legend Publications.
Arjan Deelen's last journey into Laurens van Houten world of Elvis in Las Vegas at the end of August 1973 with a group of fans is already ten years and half years old. '' Elvis : Caught In A Trap '' is an excellent document on this period in Elvis' life on and off stage, and guess we can expect the same from his last effort.
'' Elvis : Walk A Mile In My Shoes '' is a totally different publication as Arjan talks to people from the Elvis world such as musicians ( James Burton, Duke Bardwell who wrote the preface , Jerry Scheff, Ron Tutt and many others ), songwriters etc...
All the interviews are very interesting and go hand in hand with varied images throughout the book. Indeed the interviews are enhanced with photographs, which makes the whole thing more enjoyable since this is partly a photo book. Perhaps the best of both worlds after all !
The graphic design is extremely well done with multiple photos of Elvis on stage with the personalities interviewed . There are also several photo sections spanning different eras of Elvis' career , a few we've seen on some occasions while others are unpublished or rarely seen.
I am quite sensible to wrongly dated pictures, although I understand this is very hard to make such book without a single error even though it's the dream of all publishers. The ones that I noticed at first glance were nevertheless minimal. By example on page 16 ( top right ) there's a photo dated from Amarillo, TX June 19, 1974 while in fact this picture is from San Bernardino, CA May 10, 1974. The photo on top of page 90 is supposedly from Hampton Roads, VA April 9, 1972 concert while it is in fact from April 14, 1972 in Greensboro, NC. Elvis was wearing the '' Burning Love '' suit at the matinee concert in Hampton Roads, VA and it's not what we have there.
The biggest error being the section titled '' Greensboro March 13, 1974 '' as those pictures are actually from the Charlotte concert of the same tour. Ironically on page 9 there is an actual photo from the Greensboro show ( in color ) of Elvis wearing the blue target suit instead of the '' Raised On Rock '' suit as seen in the Greensboro section.
Don't be put off by such small mistakes as this is only a short fragment of the book, and by any means do not diminished the quality of this work. This book is highly recommended for fans who enjoy a good read, and at the same time like to see new photographs, all of this in an harmoniously fashion, and simply a nice companion to '' Elvis : Caught In A Trap '' on your book shelf.
The book comes with a bonus CD of the same title featuring various tracks ( mostly 50s and a few 1974 home recordings ), about all of them aren't new but nice to have altogether into this collection. This is of interest to notice though the inclusion of the excellent newly found Louisiana Hayride track from 1955 '' I Forgot To Remember To Forget ''.
For the first time on General Release, it has 8 new live tracks that have all been re-mastered and are now significantly and noticeably improved, than before. Additionally, the CD also contains for the first time, an unreleased live version of ‘I Forgot to Remember to Forget’ from October 1955. Sound samples for entire CD will start appearing very soon.
Please note, it is likely that some Elvis fan club dealers will have stock 2 weeks earlier than the official release date of 22nd October.

Do you know who James “Mississippi Slim” Ausborn was, and which influence he had in Elvis childhood musical culture and skill development? Do you know what does it say the Morse code at the beginning of the “Aloha from Hawaii” concert? Do you want to know all the details of the 1957 tours? Did you know that when Jean Marc Gargiulo (president of “Treat Me Nice – Les Amis D’Elvis” fan club) met Elvis in 1969 in Las Vegas, Elvis himself was so worried about Jean Marc’s financial commitment to fly in USA (back then it was not so common…) that he asked him if he needed some money? Do you know that beside normal 45 and 33 rpm record releases, in the seventies there has also been a live extended play record release?

For many years, the name Temple Riser was a bit of a mystery in the Elvis world. Not much was known about the dark-haired beauty with the deep, strong voice other than the fact that she had sung backup for Elvis at his early 70s Nashville sessions, and that she got to record a duet with Elvis live in the studio on ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’. Her whereabouts were unknown, and it seemed like she had simply vanished off this planet. Nobody seemed to know where she was located or whether she was still amongst us. Earlier this year, Elvis expert Arjan Deelen decided to try and locate her, and just a few weeks ago, his research paid off when he found her alive and well and even looking pretty much the way she did 40 years ago!
Temple Riser, who is now 63, feels that she has been blessed in life, and cites working with Elvis and singing at President Nixon’s inauguration as her (singing) career highlights. About meeting Elvis for the first time, she says: “I was a little stuck up… I didn’t want to give him the impression that I was starstruck. But the moment he came into the studio, I was in awe… He had such a charisma about him, and he was so handsome. And he was very flirtatious!”, she says with a smile.
When asked about her nicest memories of him, she answers: “There’s several… I remember that he invited me and Ginger & Mary (Holladay) to come to his hotel room in Nashville - and we did. He was just so nice to us. Very easy to talk to, very talkative. He grabbed his guitar and we sang Gospels together. He didn’t sing any of his hits, just Gospel music… he loved that”.
About the duet, she says: “He asked me to do the duet with him. He was really having a good time while we recorded it. I just tried to do the best I could. You know, I used to be embarrassed about it. I didn’t think I sounded so good. These days with the internet it’s turning up everywhere, and people ask me about it. I’m proud of the fact that I got to sing with Elvis Presley. It doesn’t get any better than that!”.
The really exciting news is that Temple Riser will be joining the ’Original Elvis Tribute’ show together with a.o. Mary and Ginger Holladay for a Euro tour in May 2013!
“People have told me that the Elvis fans in Europe know about me, and I have always said: ‘You’ve got to be kidding!’. I’m really excited about coming to Europe for the very first time, and meeting the fans and performing for them. We may even do that duet, ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’. Hopefully, I will do a better job on it this time around!”, Temple laughingly says. “It’s a priviledge to be able to pay tribute to the greatest performer ever and I will do my best to make this tour memorable for the fans. See you all in May 2013!”.

You all know what I look like, so see whoever shows up that night!
‘Arjan Deelen's insightful interviews shed compelling new light on the legacy of Elvis Presley. His innate love of his subject and well-spring of knowledge informs his work, ultimately producing a series of captivating, candid and revelatory interviews that offer heretofore new perspective on the artistry of "the King"’ ‘, said Ken Sharp, author of "Writing For The King” and "Vegas: '69".
Some of these interviews were used in the aforementioned book, as well as some of the world’s leading Elvis magazines, like “Elvis – The Man And His Music”, “Flaming Star” and “ElvisMatters”, and you can now read them in their unedited form in this fascinating publication. Several of the interviews in the book, like for instance the ones with Ronnie Tutt, Jerry Scheff and Michael Jarrett, are widely regarded as the best and most revealing interviews ever with these gentlemen. There’s also a strong sense of honesty about the book, because these interviews are presented precisely as they were conducted – so no editing or other manipulation afterwards. ‘Straight from the horses’ mouth’, so to speak. “ELVIS: WALK A MILE IN MY MUSIC” is a must for those who really want to know more about Elvis and the music he created.
The book is also a feast for the eye, with almost 300 rare and unpublished photos of Elvis, in some cases sourced from the original negatives and dias. These photos cover the whole spectrum of Elvis’ career, from 1954 to 1977. The foreword was written by Duke Bardwell, Elvis’ mid-70s bassplayer. Handsomely designed, this is a book that delivers on all levels. A free promotional CD containing various Elvis rarities, including the newly discovered live version of ‘I Forgot To Remember To Forget’ as well as a rare 1956 radio promo, is also included.
