GLENN DANZIG On Danzig Sings Elvis Album - "I Pretty Much Did This As A Vanity Project For Myself"
May 6, 2020, 4 years ago
The brand new studio album from punk / metal icon and powerhouse vocalist, Glenn Danzig, pays tribute to his idol and inspiration, Elvis Presley.
Danzig Sings Elvis features 14 unforgettable interpretations of well-known Elvis classics and unheralded deep cuts that will thrill fans of both of these kings of rock music.
Speaking with Billboard, reveals that Danzig Sings Elvis may not be a major selling point for Danzig fans.
“This is not my metal hard-rock band,” he emphasizes. “I pretty much did this as a vanity project for myself. I couldn’t wait to sing these songs. Some people will like it, and some won’t. I’m fine with that, but a lot of people that have heard it are digging it, which is great.”
“Elvis was an incredible singer and performer, and his range was insane,” says Danzig while chatting on the phone from his Los Angeles home. “And he’s still huge.”
