Very impressive, Elliott - loved the lyrics. The AI singer sounds good, but as others have mentioned, you've got a great voice yourself. Nice job with this.

Good song, Elliott
Well written.
Sounds good.

Amazing tech indeed. We remain confused. How could it improve the mix/production sans having the original tracks? How are the bass and drums BiaB? Did you create the AI version w/o bass/drums and then add them to the AI version? School us! 😀

J&B

Here is the BIAB original version of this song. I uploaded this to Suno and used their COVER BETA feature.
I indicated the style as Rock-a-Billy / 50's Rock n Roll / Elvis

I also had to enter the lyrics into the CUSTOM LYRICS area with notation like this:

[Male Vocal] [Elvis]

[Intro]
[Verse]
18 Miles to Memphis
I'm taking rock n roll on the road
Got my radio tuned to Elvis
and he's singing out his soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Got my guitar in the back seat
of my 57 Cadillac
Memphis is the reason that I'm
living with the Rhythm
and I'm never looking back

[Verse]
18 Miles to Memphis
there's a honky tonk to play that sound
A little rock and rollin
Reeling and strolling
It's to Memphis I am bound

[Pre-Chorus]
Got my blue Suede shoes
and Beale street blues
Its BB King's Hall of Fame
When I play my songs
I know it wont be long
before everyone will know my name

[Chorus]
Na na na na na
It don't get much better than that
Stars above to guide me
and a Guitar right beside me
It's to Memphis not looking back

[Verse]
When I get to Memphis
and feel the Mississippi wind on my face
I'll drive right up to the gates of Graceland
and get down on my knees and pray

[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna thank the King
for Rhythm and Blues
and giving us Rock and Roll
Then I'll take out my guitar
from the backseat of my car
and sing a song to his soul

[Chorus]
Na na na na na
And Hunk a Hunk of burnin Love
at the a Heartbreak hotel
I don't have to tell you
It's Memphis that I dream of

[Chorus]
Na na na na
From deep down in my soul
Memphis is calling
its the music that I am falling
in love with of rock and roll

[Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
18 miles from Memphis
I can almost feel the heat
Beale street down to Graceland
Is sound of the southern beat

[Pre-Chorus]
Got my guitar in the back seat
of my 57 Cadillac
Memphis is the reason
that I'm living with the Rhythm
and never looking back

[Chorus]
Na na na na
from deep down in my soul
Memphis is the reason
that I'm living with the Rhythm
and I'm living on rock and roll

[Chorus]
Na na na na
from deep down in my soul
Memphis is the reason
that I'm living with the Rhythm
and I'm living on rock and roll
[Outro]

OMG, that's an AI voice?! It sounds so real. Excellent song--so memorable and singable. What a jam!

Elliott, THANKS for posting the pre-Suno version. Interesting to hear the aural twists Suno adds. Still very clear who is more talented though. Ha! Ron

Wow what a cool country rocker. Excellent vocal and backing band was stellar. Well done

A pretty good song, I like it.
Nice and upbeat and with a lot of drive.
I think if this was all done with Suno, it's actually quite good, also the production is more than adequate too.

Hi Elliott.

What a song! You've sure put in the 'hard yards' with these lyrics. They are superb. I am incredibly impressed with what you and AI have accomplished.This was a super presentation.

A tip of the hat to you on a fantastic song and fantastic production
