Review: Alex Hall honors Elvis Presley with superb ‘Blue Christmas’ cover (Includes first-hand account)

Hall allows his harking vocals to shine on “Blue Christmas.” It will certainly put his fans and country listeners in the holiday spirit. His rendition is smooth and bluesy. He took a risk covering this perennial Elvis Presley holiday standard, and it is safe to say that this risk has paid off, as he does the song justice.

He acknowledged that he has “always been obsessed with Elvis Presley.” A native of Georgia, Hall will be releasing new music in the new year.

“Blue Christmas” by Alex Hall is available on iTunes and on Spotify.

The Verdict

Overall, it is evident that Elvis Presley and his music had a profound impact on country singer-songwriter Alex Hall. His acoustic version of “Blue Christmas” is simply glorious, and a fitting homage to the “King of Rock and Roll.” It is raw, authentic and unplugged. It garners an A rating.
