James Brown (no, not that James Brown) is a postal worker in Belfast. He also does one of the best Elvis impersonations I have ever heard.
Basically, the concept behind this album is a tribute to dead people as Elvis would've done. And what a group of dead people to tribute: Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix and even a little tribute to Elvis himself.
At first glance, this may seem like a pointless album, but after a listen, you really can't help but love the versions of the songs included on this disc.
