about

From the 1999 "The ABC Sessions" album

lyrics

Well, she said she knew Elvis, said she used to be his friend
Yeah she said she knew Elvis, like the back of her hand
And who was I to doubt her, someone had to know the man

She drove a Lincoln Continental, that she’d got in ’75
She drove a Lincoln Continental, he gave her just before he died
And who was I to doubt her, she just glowed with pride

She said she’d often been mistaken for Priscilla, don’t ya see
Said she’d also been mistaken for Lisa Marie
And who was I to doubt her, who was I to disagree

I told her I knew Jimi Hendrix, and that I wrote Purple Haze
Said I knew Paul McCartney, and I taught him to play bass
She said she believed me, then she laughed in my face

Well, she said she knew Elvis, she had the mean woman blues
Yeah she said she knew Elvis, she had the blue suede shoes
And who was I to doubt her, she had the photos…

Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar.

A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are framed in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
