Black Velvet Alannah Myles 1989

Sep 1, 2022

In the Canadian summer of 1989 and December of the same year in The U.S. newcomer Alannah Myles dropped her debut record with this catchy tune written by 2 fellow Canadians. After being on a bus with a bunch of fans heading to Graceland for the 10th anniversary vigil for Elvis they wrote this song. Black velvet to me is like a nice worn pair of jeans. Trusty and true, you forget how much you like 'em until you put them back on. Nothing fancy, just real good. I love the Bluesy intro and her silk smooth voice. This never gets old. A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black Velvet if you please.
