Among the many tribute CD’s that are being releases this summer, the full CD of Mean Gene Kelton & The Die Hards stands out of the pack. They recorded “Going Back To Memphis: A Biker Band Tribute To Elvis” in the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis where Elvis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash started their careers. The CD showcases Mean Gene Kelton & The Die Hards own unique Texas blues and gritty, southern rock interpretations of twelve songs previously recorded by Elvis including: Jailhouse Rock, Polk Salad Annie, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Steamroller and others that the band regularly performs at motorcycle rallies across the country.: “I insisted that we set up and perform all thirteen songs in a row, live and raw, just like we play them at a motorcycle rallies,” says Kelton. “I did not want to use click tracks or scratch vocal tracks, and we did only very minimal over-dubbing. I wanted to capture the true, unpolished, raw sound and live feel of the band’s unbridled enthusiasm for this one of a kind CD. What you hear is what you get. It’s the real thing!” A special royalty from the sale of each CD will be donated to two separate charities: B.A.C.A. (Bikers Against Child Abuse) and St. Jude's Children's' Hospital in Memphis.

“Going Back To Memphis: A Biker Band Tribute To Elvis” will be available in Memphis by the end of July 2007.
