[Editor's note: Robert Gordon passed away on October 18, 2022, at the age of 75.]

Elvis Presley's "Hillbilly Cat" days inspired the rockabilly heart of a young Robert Gordon, but for most of his career he's avoided recording the King's tunes. The new album, It's Now Or Never, changes that as Robert and guitarist Chris Spedding lend their well-suited talents to a collection of Elvis songs, and I got more of the background when the duo visited Studio A.
