 <\/p>\n

\"\"There\u2019s a deleted scene in Pulp Fiction<\/em> when Mia Wallace, interviewing Vincent Vega with a Hi-8 camera, says \u201cThere are two kinds of people in the world: Beatles people, and Elvis people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Until the last few years, I\u2019d have chosen the Fab Four every time. I\u2019ve since decided it\u2019s un-American, and worse, un-Mississippian, to not appreciate Elvis Presley<\/strong>\u2019s impact on popular music as we know it. The man is a legend. His tunes and his memory must live on, lest we forget what rock n\u2019 roll is all about and from whence it came.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Atkinson<\/strong>, better known as Big E, is Oxford\u2019s answer for enshrining Elvis Presley. His demeanor is unassuming, his voice is very Elvis-ey, and the fun he obviously has on stage is contagious! Furthermore, every member of his band is versatile and vastly talented. In the 2010-2011 Local Favorites Awards<\/strong>, Big E & The Drifting Hound Dogs<\/strong> won \u201cFavorite Live Show\u201d so these opinions aren\u2019t just mine. Recently, I met up with Will, Tyler Keith<\/strong>, George Sheldon<\/strong>, and Frank Coutch<\/strong> at The Blind Pig to find out more about their conglomerate. The lovely and talented bassist, Van Thompson<\/strong>, was unfortunately at work when we met up. Read on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"(Will read some of my notes ahead of time, and he started the interview off with\u2026)
\n<\/em>Big E: \u201cYou know what would have been the greatest record of all time? If The Beatles and Elvis had recorded together.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rebecca Long:<\/strong> \u201cDid you hear about the recent rumor that Paul McLeod of Graceland Too was dead?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E:<\/strong> \u201cI never heard that rumor. I get a lot of folks think I\u2019m Paul MacLeod, is the scary part.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

(explained to Will about internet rumor and locals’ trips to Graceland Too to make sure Paul was ok)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Big E: \u201cFirst time I met Paul I didn\u2019t know what to think about him, you know? I mean, I\u2019m a big Elvis fan, but I don\u2019t think I would leave my wife for Elvis.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cI did not know that happened to him.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah. His wife told him, \u2018Either me or Elvis,\u2019 and I guess he chose Elvis. He\u2019s pretty cool, though.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cWe make our choices, yeah. I mean, he\u2019s chosen to do something that apparently makes him happy. He just, like, I saw the pictures from this last weekend when the girls went up there and he was having the time of his life, showing people around his house.\u201d<\/span>
\n \"\"<\/a>Big E (gesturing towards bar where Tyler was working):<\/em> \u201cLook at T over there. Ain\u2019t he somethin\u2019?\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cHe is, he is something else. He\u2019s definitely my favorite guitarist in Oxford. He\u2019s got so much soul.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cHe does. So much rhythm, you know? I tell ya what, to have all these fellas with me, I am the luckiest guy in the world.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cI think they\u2019re pretty lucky to have you, too. When I came to see you at Ajax earlier this year, I didn\u2019t really know who was in the band, because I hadn\u2019t seen you in about 5 years or something. But when I realized who you had in the band and it was like, Tyler Keith, Van and Frank…guys who have been playing together for years, not to mention gorgeous George.\u201d<\/span>
\n \"\"Big E: \u201cI call Frank the hardest-working drummer in the music business. But you know he is…he\u2019s a trip, too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cIf I could just do this and make a living at it, I would love to do it. Cause, I\u2019ll tell ya, this makes me feel, like, fantastic when I\u2019m up on stage performing, and just getting to meet all the people. I know that may be corny as…corn on the cob…\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cNot really. In life, you kinda have to do what you love, or you end up going crazy, and if what you love doing makes other people happy too, it\u2019s like a plus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cDo you consider yourself an Elvis impersonator or a tribute artist? Or just Big E?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI consider myself just \u2018Big E,\u2019 cause you\u2019ve got so many tribute artists out there. What\u2019s weird is, some of them try to be Elvis…actually think they\u2019re Elvis. But myself, I\u2019m just me, cause I love doing it. Sure, I may wear the jumpsuit and everything, but…ever since I was a boy, I always wanted to wear a jumpsuit.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cBecause of Elvis?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cI read a 36-page thing on Elvis last night to kind of prepare myself, and I didn\u2019t realize how he was censored in the 50s when his music first came out because of the hip-shakin\u2019. And I dig it, that\u2019s the whole reason I like watching old videos of him now.\u201d<\/span>
\n \"\"Big E: \u201cI most liked Elvis probably in the 70s. His voice recorded better, and he was a better singer than in the 50s. In the 50s he had the excitement and the energy. And then in the 70s he mellowed down and got more vocally inclined.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cHe did. He grew into his voice. When did you start performing Elvis tunes? Did you start with performing Elvis tunes or did you write your own music or have other musical ventures first?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI used to lead gospel music at Courtland United Methodist Church, up in Courtland, close to Batesville. I used to lead music there, and my friend used to preach at another church and he asked me one night, \u2018Will, can you come over here and do a 50s night for us?\u2019 Cause they always said I had an Elvis voice. I said, \u2018Sure, I\u2019ll be glad to,\u2019 so I was dressed up in white slacks, black leather, silk shirt, black leather jacket. So I got out there and started doing it for the first time and…they loved it. And I was like, \u2018Man, this caught on.\u2019 So, after that, I started getting more into doing Elvis shows and stuff, and George was the one who really got me started on it, too. I played at the Longshot when it first opened.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cHow long ago was Courtland UM Church when they asked you to do 50s night?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cThat\u2019s probably about 15 years ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RL: \u201cAnd, so, if it was when George opened the Longshot, I\u2019m guessing it was ten years ago that y\u2019all hooked up?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYep. Ten years. First day we hooked up he rented a limo when we did our first show there. And I got out of the limo. Over here (gestures), they had it blocked off…the mayor even came to the show. Mayor Howorth, you know? It was pretty slick, too, girl, let me tell you. But what was funny, my cousin was with me, and he was pretty huge and he had a hard time trying to get out of the limo, and before I started walking through the door, I couldn\u2019t stop laughing cause I was watching him get out of the limo.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cThat\u2019s great, I wish someone had pictures of that show at the Longshot. I\u2019m sure if I had more time I could get someone to dig a few up.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cMan, I had on the ugliest blue jumpsuit I\u2019ve ever had.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cWhat, was it like your first jumpsuit?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cActually, yeah, one of my first ones. And it was ugly<\/strong>. The lady fixed it up and it had tassels on it. And I swear, when I tried it on for the first time I felt like Howdy Doody. I went back to the lady and I said, \u2018Ma\u2019am, can you please get these tassels off?\u2019\u201d<\/span>
\n Debbie: \u201cI think you\u2019ve still got that suit.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI do. We sorta redid it now. Put little stars on both sides here, stars down the leg.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cYou ever wear it?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E and Debbie together: \u201cNo.\u201d (laughing)
\n<\/em>RL: \u201cJust for memorabilia\u2019s sake, then (laughing)<\/em>… Did you ever get to see Elvis perform live?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cNever had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

RL: \u201cDo you remember what were you doing when you found out Elvis had died on August 16, 1977?\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI was at home, taking it easy. And me and my cousins were all playing in the living room – we used to play wrestle a lot. And it came over the news, and I was like, \u2018What the heck?\u2019 We watched the Elvis movies that whole night after he passed away. We sat there in the living room just watching them… When I was young, we lived in Trenton, Florida with my grandmother and my aunt, and we had an antenna. And we didn\u2019t live far from Gainesville, so we picked up the Gainesville TV stations, and they had, as they would call it now, an Elvis marathon.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cYeah, I do, actually. I was a little kid. I was in Utica. When I was growing up, my dad and my grandfather were gonna build a house, and they got this land and they started building the house, but we were all living in a trailer on the property while they were doing construction all day. And my mom\u2019s a huge, huge, huge Elvis fan. Me and my little brother, who\u2019s four years younger than me, me and him were playin grabass in the living room, and the TV was on, the news was on, and my mom was in the kitchen…it\u2019s like something out of a movie. She\u2019s doing dishes, and whoever it is announces on the news that Elvis Presley had died, and I think, like, a plate dropped, and my mom just lost it. And me and my brother just, we knew who Elvis was, but we didn\u2019t know how important he was. To us it was like, \u2018Oh, Bugs Bunny died.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t that big a deal. I yelled out, \u2018Daddy!\u2019 and he had to come in and console her and all. My dad\u2019s never been a huge music fan, but gosh, he knew how much she loved Elvis. And she was pregnant with my little brother when he came to [Jackson?] and played. And she went to the show, like, 8-1\/2 months pregnant in a wheelchair, cause she wanted to see Elvis.\u201d<\/span>
\n Tyler: \u201cI remember seeing on television. They were showing it on the Memphis news. And I was just like, with my mom and dad or something, and I remember them being upset by it. Same thing with John Lennon, cause they were just a couple of years apart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

RL: \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite popular Elvis song?\u201d
\n<\/strong>Big E: \u201cMy favorite song when I was a little kid, I used to love listening to \u201cHound Dog.\u201d My mom said every time they\u2019d have a singer on TV, or Elvis would be on TV when I was young, I\u2019d always pick something up with my hand and act like I had a microphone, like I was singing, you know, when I was a little kid.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cI have a picture…I didn\u2019t take it, Nature did, of Paul [McLeod] doing that very thing last week, actually. It\u2019s the greatest picture they got of him when they went out there. That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about, he just looks so happy about what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cIf there\u2019s a popular one that\u2019s my favorite, it\u2019s \u201cSuspicious Minds.\u201d But there\u2019s plenty of other stuff that\u2019s obscure.\u201d<\/span>
\n Tyler: \u201cBurnin\u2019 Love.\u201d<\/span>
\n George: \u201cKing Creole.\u201d Cause it\u2019s got this (imitates guitar riff…all laughing)<\/em>.\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s my favorite Elvis song slash movie, honestly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

RL: \u201cWhat\u2019s the best Elvis song people don\u2019t know?\u201d
\n<\/strong>Big E: \u201cThere\u2019s a song Elvis did, it\u2019s on the 1969 From Elvis in Memphis<\/em> album, and to me it\u2019s probably one of the best songs that nobody knows he did. It\u2019s \u201cLong Black Limousine\u201d.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cIs the limousine on the way to a funeral?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah, yeah.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cThe Stones covered that one, too, in the late 70s.\u201d<\/span>
\n Tyler: \u201cTomorrow Night.\u201d It\u2019s on the Early Sun Records<\/em>. Just him and guitar. Kinda like \u201cBlue Moon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026<\/span>
\n \"\"<\/a>RL: \u201cHave you ever recorded anything?\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah, three years ago in December I went to the Sam C. Phillips\u2019 Recording Studio.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cSam Phillips\u2019, in Memphis?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah. And have you ever heard of Roland Janes? He\u2019s been doing recording for about 40-something years. He recorded all the big names. He recorded me that day. And it was fantastic. We did about ten songs on the CD and got it burned, and everybody seems to like the CD pretty well.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cWhere is it?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cAt the house.\u201d (laughs)<\/em><\/span>
\n RL: \u201cDo you have plans to sell any more copies of it, or record anything else?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to go back and record some more stuff.\u201d<\/span>
\n Debbie: \u201cI had that CD recorded as a Christmas present to [Will]. And we had over a hundred copies of them made we were supposed to sell. Well, I\u2019m giving one to a friend here, one to a friend here, we wound up giving them all away.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cHe got me a copyright license for it and everything, so that\u2019s good. But I remember doing \u201cKentucky Rain\u201d…\u201d<\/span>
\n Debbie: \u201cYou had to be there to hear this one…(chuckles)<\/em>\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah…the guy had the microphone down real low, and my hair brushed the microphone, and it sounds like (whooshing sound)<\/em>.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cIn the whole song, or just the beginning?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cJust halfway in the song. Whoosh! And I was like, \u2018OK, that\u2019s it.\u2019 All those songs right there were first takes on the whole CD.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cDid you just not have money for more studio time?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cThat\u2019s it, right there. You hit the nail right on the head.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>
\n (talking about name of band)<\/em> Big E: \u201cWe have a friend named Bernice Turner. Gosh, she\u2019s about 80-something years old, she\u2019s still kickin. She used to play with Hank Williams, Jr. when he first started out. And their band was called Hank Williams and the Drifters. So I think that\u2019s probably where we got our name from, cause George is a big Hank Williams fan. George actually named the band.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

RL: \u201cSo if you hooked up with George ten years ago, how long ago did Tyler start playing with you?\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\n \"\"Big E: \u201cTyler\u2019s probably been with us about two years now.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cVan as well?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah, yeah. Probably about a month or two apart. We wanted to get a bigger band, with a better sound. Starting out, George played rhythm and lead, you know. We sounded fantastic with George playing, you know? I mean, we sounded real good, and then it was like, \u2018Hey, man, let\u2019s get another player in here.\u2019 But what\u2019s so funny is, I gotta get Frank one, but I got the whole band TCB necklaces. I take care of my boys.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cFrank, how long you been with us now, my friend?\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cA year. I mean, I played with you a couple of times years ago, but…\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cBut, let\u2019s see, a long time ago we started out with George (lead), Pat Cochran (rhythm), Frank Coutch (drums), and Talbot Adams (bass). I think we were calling it Big E and the Impersonators. That\u2019s how I first got to meet Frank.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>
\n Big E (to Frank): \u201cOh, I found a picture of you, by the way. I think it was on Facebook.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cTell me I had clothes on.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah, you were playing the bass.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cPlaying the bass?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah, you were over there doing something with the bass in this picture.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cWas it like a live photo?\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cDo you play bass?\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cI do a little, yeah. It\u2019s usually…\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI didn\u2019t know that!\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cWell, Tyler\u2019ll get on the drums, Tyler can play the drums, and I can play a little bass, so whenever we get a certain amount of drinks in us, I\u2019ll grab the bass, and they\u2019ll get on the guitar and the drums, and we\u2019ll do \u201cSmoke On the Water\u201d or something stupid. It\u2019s just a fun way to end the night, in a drunken shamble…bottles and sh!t everywhere, John half-naked.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cI accidentally posted a picture of John\u2019s balls from a show at the Jubilee on Facebook, and somebody, like, hit the button and reported the image, and they deleted it and sent me a message letting me know, with a thumbnail, and I looked at it closer and I was like, \u2018Oh, yeah. Balls.\u2019 So I opened it in Photoshop and put a little sheriff\u2019s star on top of \u2018em, and put it back on Facebook, and they\u2019ve left it alone.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cAnd John would find it funny. John doesn\u2019t give a shit about anything. I\u2019ve seen his ass too many times, cause he\u2019s in front of me, you know…I\u2019ve seen Tyler in his underwear. Actually, the inlay card on our second record is a black & white photo of us from behind, playing at Ajax on Halloween, and…Tyler went as one of the guys with a trenchcoat who (gestures)<\/em>…\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cFlasher.\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cYeah, flasher. And, so, he had striped tighty whities on. And at some point, some gal just ripped his jacket off. He didn\u2019t care, he just kept playing. And Brad Gunter\u2019s in front of me goin\u2019 like this (rockin\u2019 out)<\/em>, and Tyler\u2019s goin\u2019 like this (some gesture)<\/em>, and they were like, \u2018OK, let\u2019s put that on the record – that would be funny.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cSo, Will, have<\/em> you ever shot a television?\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\n \"\"Big E: \u201cNo, never have.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cIf you were to shoot a television, who would be on the screen that you\u2019d be so pissed off at? You just don\u2019t seem like the kind of guy who would get that pissed off.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cBill O\u2019Reilly, Rush Limbaugh…\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cYou took my answer, I was going to say Bill O\u2019Reilly.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI can\u2019t say \u2018the president\u2019 cause I might have some Secret Service men walk through the door here.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cYou don\u2019t even have to say his name, just say \u2018The President.\u2019 So, Frank, Bill O\u2019Reilly\u2019s the only one you\u2019d shoot?\u201d<\/span>
\n Frank: \u201cI don\u2019t know, Kid Rock?\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cThat\u2019s a good answer.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cDefinitely–I can\u2019t stand watching her when she\u2019s singing–Lady GaGa.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cUgh, she\u2019s like Madonna Redux. (to George, just rejoining group)<\/em> Have you ever shot a television?\u201d<\/span>
\n George: \u201cI think I have, actually…it was out in a field.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"RL: \u201cAnd finally, have any of you ever eaten a peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich?\u201d <\/strong>(reportedly Elvis\u2019 favorite)<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Debbie: \u201cOh, yeah.\u201d<\/span>
\n Big E: \u201cI\u2019ve eaten peanut butter and banana, fried in butter.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cYeah, that\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to be done, you just didn\u2019t have the bacon.\u201d<\/span>
\n George: \u201cI\u2019ve had chocolate bacon.\u201d<\/span>
\n RL: \u201cHow \u2018bout you, Tyler?\u201d<\/span>
\n Tyler: \u201cYes, I have.\u201d<\/span>
