In The Ghetto (The RegBerry Trio covers Elvis)

[Bluesberry]

In The Ghetto (cover)

thetworegs - vocals (holy gospel choir of Regs)
Dave Berry- Strat, bass, organ, drums played on Roland HD-1

"In the Ghetto" (originally titled "The Vicious Circle") is a song recorded by Elvis Presley and published by Elvis Presley Music in 1969. It was written by Mac Davis and made famous by Elvis Presley who had a major comeback hit with the controversial song in 1969.

We decided to have some fun with this song, the more I worked on the music, the more I really liked the song, then finding all the great cover versions to listen to on U-tube.  Then of course hearing the incredible vocals that Reg laid down to really drive the emotion of the song home, that really made my day.  A labour of love from the RegBerry Trio to you.........

The RegBerry Trio rock out the (only?) socially-conscious Elvis song!

Reg, you've done a great vocal delivery there - lotsa soul, man. Dave, fantastic instrumental backing - love those drums, too! 

I wish Elvis had done more songs like this...

If "ElvisFest" ever transpires, this would be my #1 choice of covers. I heard this one on many a Sunday afternoon growing up.

Great job guys.

You added a set of drums to your repetoire BB ? - good for you man.
Sounds like a t-wah on that strat too - good riffage brother.

Reg - Nice vox man. Hit some high ones there!

Solid work boys!

When I read the title I thought you guys must have big balls to tackle this..
I have got to say I am so blown away...Its fantastic
If you tried to stay true to the original with a twist you nailed it completely!
Regs unique vox works so well
and the arrangement and musicianship is the best I have heard from you Dave
It is absolutely perfect
and I'm not forgetting that you are actually hitting every beat of the drums
My Hat is off Guys!

Rock friggin solid gents. Regs I'm really impressed with the vocal delivery, incredible insight. Dave, you're a monster now buddy. To me, this may be the best instrumental work you've done to date, and I've had a lot to choose from. It's an awesome listen.

[Gritter]
