Insights from Glenn Danzig
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Danzig shared his thoughts on the track “One Night.” He remarked, “It’s a great song. There’s a lot of different versions of it that I did while I was in the studio with multiple vocal takes. I did some a little softer, some a little harder. Some in between. The one I decided on is the one I like the best.”
The Making of “Danzig Sings Elvis”
Danzig elaborated on how the project evolved from a brief EP into a full-length album. “What happened was, in between doing it, I’ve been working on a million other things. I’m working on other records. It started out as, ‘I’m gonna do a ‘Danzig Sings Elvis’ EP, and it can be four or five songs.’ And eventually, while doing other records, we’d have downtime and I’d just turn to Tommy [Victor, guitarist] and say, ‘Let’s do another Elvis track or two.’ He’s like, ‘Okay.’ Eventually, it became an album.”
Previous Elvis Covers
Danzig has a history of covering Elvis songs, including his rendition of “Trouble” on the 1993 EP “Thrall-Demonsweatlive” and “Let Yourself Go” from the 2015 album “Skeletons.”
