This marks his first studio album in 22 years, and it is compelling from start to finish. The CD opens with the enthralling “I Wanna Live Like Elvis” and it is followed by the mid-tempo “Black Coffee.” He slows the tempo on the poignant ballad “We Hours,” where he showcases his rich, baritone voice.
It is followed by the smooth “Addicted to You” and he tugs at the heart with “Say Hello to Heaven.” “I’m a Song” is soothing and heartfelt, while “I Was Losing You” is filled with raw emotions and melancholy.
After the nostalgic title track ballad “Midnight in Memphis,” the CD closes with the mid-tempo “Sober” and with the tear-jerker “The Day Elvis Died,” which is a fitting homage to the “King of Rock and Roll.”
Midnight in Memphis is available on Apple Music and on Amazon Music.
