Remember Elvis? The look, the sound, the man, the image. His persona really gets to you when you’ve seen his concerts. His raw talent electrifies when you see his early movies. His voice makes you tear up when you hear An American Trilogy.
Ever since Elvis Presley passed away, there’s been tribute artists that would like to capitalize on the King himself, and his music. If you’ve ever been to an Elvis tribute artist concert, they mainly consist of these wannabes dressed up in his 70’s jumpsuits and glued on sideburns, overdoing the Elvis voice.
That is what usually got to me. The way Elvis impersonators would try and mimic Elvis’ voice was simply unjust and appalling. You can tell these guys would try to put some bass in their voice and something along the lines of “uh huh” or “thank you, thank you very much”. Just look these guys up on YouTube, they all sound pretty ridiculous.
The best thing about Eddie Miles, is in fact his voice. I went to a show of his located in Kentucky and during the show, I would close my eyes and just visualize that Elvis was singing the songs. Pretty much spot on just like hearing Elvis!!
Another thing that really puts the Elvis image down when people go see these Elvis tribute artists, is they don’t really entertain the audience. It turns into some lame show where these guys strut around on stage singing one song after another and that’s it. Eddie actually converses with the audience the whole time and makes them have a great experience.
Eddie Miles even gets the accolades from people who have been with Elvis onstage and have traveled with him. People like J.D. Sumner of the Stamps Quartet, Scotty Moore (legendary guitar player), DJ Fontana (Elvis’ drummer for years), Terry Blackwood, Charlie Hodge (close friend of Elvis), and on and on. If Eddie gets this kind of recommendation from people who have actually been there with him, then perhaps that makes Eddie the best of the best Elvis tribute artists out there. Just go to his website if you don’t understand what I’m talking about!
If you ever wind up seeing Eddie Miles on stage whether in Kentucky, North Carolina, or Las Vegas, you’ll soon agree that Eddie Miles is simply the best Elvis tribute artist out there.
