I prefer Dwight’s remake…
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Never heard anything but Elvis. I may give the other a try but it’s impossible to be better. Can’t even be close.

Dwight gets my vote- but he's actually a Kentucky boy and surely a UK fan too.

For all of you saying you like the original, you sure you've heard Mark James sing it? I haven't. Elvis hardly wrote a single song he made famous. Waylon did it better than either. It's more famous than Dwight's as well.
Pass the gravy.

That’s a hard call. Love them both but lean toward Dwight bc of the version of the song.

The King will always be the King. Elvis voice range from the high's to the lows were far better than Dwights. Don't get me wrong, I like Dwight and he did a good job but he just does not have the dynamic range of the King.

I had never heard Yoakum so I listened. Better than I thought and I went in thinking no way.
It may just be because I grew up listening to Elvis but hes hard to be compared to.
