Emerging amid the late-'70s NY punk scene, Robert Gordon was a pioneering rockabilly revivalist. He's been joined at various points over the years by British guitar hero Chris Spedding. Some 30 years into his career, Gordon reunites with Spedding on IT"S NOW OR NEVER, an Elvis Presley homage that finds the pair meticulously recreating the original arrangements and spirit of classic Elvis tunes. The fact that they're aided by the King's original backup vocalists, the Jordanaires, doesn't hurt a bit. Over the years, Gordon's voice has become deeper and richer, and these days he sounds more like first-generation rockabilly cat Sleepy La Beef than some pompadoured fanboy, so he's well-equipped to bring some gravitas to this project.
