Trouble

[tlsteel]

Cover by Tom Stephens

"Trouble" is a blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, originally performed by Elvis Presley in 1958 and covered by a number of artists in later years. Elvis Presley performed the song in the 1958 motion picture King Creole, and his recording was included on the soundtrack of the same name. "Trouble", featuring Scotty Moore on guitar, was one of only three songs written by Leiber and Stoller for the feature. Presley's performance in the film alludes to Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. "If you're looking for trouble", he intones, "then look right in my face. Because I'm evil. My middle name is Misery". Music critic Maury Dean suggests that "Trouble", with Presley's "growling snarl", is one of the earliest proto-punk rock songs

I like this alot man, great horns and your vocal is fabulous. I'd love some details, did you do all this yourself?
Should be a fest contender, being a Leiber ans Stoller Tune?
Nice recording!
Rock on!

Awesome. Please tell us more about this recording. How did you do the horns? Did you play all of the instruments on this? Which recorder did you use?

Excellent cover! Blimey Elvis does live! Loved the horns and clarinet going on, and really loved the switch to jazz, fantastic! No idea how you did that without playing it?!

Bravo
