        Yet another great has passed on – DJ Fontana and Scotty Moore laid down a lot of great tracks over the years behind Elvis and other artist.

        In 2004, Alvin Lee released In Tennessee – one of his finest but hey, the man never turned out a bad recording. In Tennessee was recorded at Scotty Moore’s home studio with Scotty & DJ taking part in the recording. Excellent CD of rockabilly and early rock & roll type songs. As usual, Alvin’s playing was brilliant but more laid back than usual and obvious that he was paying homage to Scotty & DJ

        I’ve included an excellent page from Scotty’s web site about the recording session
