------ About artist/band Alannah Myles
I have been a fan for years! Only wish she would perform again! I have seen her on many occasions and was never dissapointed. Hopefully she is doing well and will have the chance to hear her live again! But until then, her music is on my list of favorites...maybe she can come to Sarnia??

See Wiki article about the song. His mother is holding him in the beginning, and yes, he was born in Mississippi. Jimmie Rodgers is the correct spelling of the name of the country singer Gladys is listening to on the Victrola. :)
Always loved this lady's voice.Reminiscent of Sheryl Crow and Cher and the Wilson Sisters of Soft Rock,outfit "Heart".Sounds gutsy and feminine, sure of herself,really true and solid.Classy and still cool.

------ About artist/band Alannah Myles
i USED to love alannyah myles. i remember being so excited to see her perform at wasaga beach. i was truly loving her performance until she unleashed her nasty personality and told all the smokers to get away from her in the area where she was performing. what??? are you nuts? those were the days when you smoked in bars. at any rate, we were there on the roadside when she was leaving after her performance and we tried to complement her on her performance. She was a totally rude, jumped in her CAB and drove off. it was that day that i stopped liking her. artists successes rely on fans. i stopped being one. too bad for alannah. she blew it herself. pompous ass!!!!!
Great!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous

This is one of my favorites. It's about A southern boy and his charms. I lived in TN. for 2 years, and I'm still a southern girl. (The accent come out when I get mad, when I'm in a hurry, and when I say Tennessee, it's there.)

------ About the song Black Velvet performed by Alannah Myles
I do agree with Natasha and Marina. It is about Elvis. He was originally from Tupelo Mississippi and later on came Memphis Tennessee. :) If I'm not mistaken I think a pet name for his mom was "velvet." Others have tried to sing this song but Alannah's is the best.

I adore this song,she (Alannah) has such a great voice.I agree with Marina about it being about Elvis,for all of her points plus the fact "love me tender" is namechecked and he lived in Memphis (his Graceland home) which is also mentioned,plus I'm pretty sure he came from Mississippi :)
Anyway,Elvis aside,this is an amazing song :)
