Inevitably given his vast output, the quality of the great man’s songs was, to put it mildly, variable. That said, his finest work still stands very tall even today. Lower down though, some might agree that ‘Viva Las Vegas” is not a standout track.
So we were wondering, who has done a cover of an only so-so Elvis track and breathed new life into it? Viva Las Vegas being a case in point. In our opinion, ZZ Top really, really nail that track in a way that Elvis might never have imagined but we think he might have LOVED this reworking.
