He'd sound old.

Toby Kieth imitgating Tom Jones, except he'd do covers of "All Apologies" and "I'm Like a Bird"

(I've rethought my position. Replace "Toby Keith" with "Randy Travis", but sung a couple octaves lower.)

Seriously, though...first off, if he was performing at all, he'd be country straight-up.

I'd imagine that in his post-1977 career there would be several comebacks, long dalliances with the country mainstream and at least one Lynn/Cash-style hip transplants.

...as prodced by Rick Rubin!

Or maybe a duet with Jimmy Buffet like other mainstream country performers...a Blue Hawaii kinda thing

I don't know. Being serious for a moment, I think that Presley has as much in common with Springsteen as he does with Buffett (and Tom Jones)

Imagine Presley doing live acoustic covers of "Johnny 99"

I have not, no. I have heard that one Springsteen song about Big Trouble in Little China, though.

― Mourly Vold, Sunday, 9 January 2005 01:06 (twenty years ago)

Duets with Leonard Cohen would be nice.

― PiersT, Sunday, 9 January 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

Bruce Campbell.

Elvis Costello would probably written and duetted some piece of shite for his 70th birthday album
