Guests bios:

Cowboy Jack Clement
Cowboy Jack Clement will be Elvis Unlimited's exclusive guest at Back In Memphis. Cowboy was Sam Phillips sound engineer at Sun Studio. And it is Jack we have to thank for recording the Million Dollar Quartet. Jack also discovered Jerry Lee Lewis while at Sun. Jack has gone on to Nashville where he was written countless songs and produced legends like Johnny Cash, Charley Pride, Waylon Jennings and many more.

Cowboy returned to Sun Studio to produce U2 and their Rattle And Hum album. Cowboy was in Denmark last year for our Million Dollar Quartet Concert. It was Jack's first Elvis event in Europe. And now Elvis Unlimited has the exclusive honor to be the FIRST to bring Jack to Elvis Week.

Jack used to play at the Eagle's Nest in Memphis where Elvis sometimes opened and closed for Cowboy. One time Jack even lent Elvis his guitar and when Elvis returned it, he had broke all the strings.

Today, Jack is legend in country music and Nashville. He is still producing and performing in the Nashville area. This is one guy, you NEED to meet. And he will only be in town for our show! So don't delay!

Billy Swan
American songwriter, Producer and Performer - I Can Help sold 2 million copies worldwide, Lover Please recorded by Clyde McPhatter in 1962, peaked at #7 on Billboard charts. Produced Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie.

Here's a blog article by David Boles chronicling his attempt to have Itunes correct an error in displaying the cover for Billy's album, from June 2010. It took Itunes 4 years to get the matter straightened out.
