Faith Hill premiers Elvis' "That's Alright Mama" on website
But numerous inquiries were made at Hill's web site requesting "Mama," and now the Grammy Award winning singer will give the video its online premiere, which can only be seen in its entirety as of 11 a.m. eastern on www.faithhill.com
"We recorded 'Mama' and' and 'Peace In The Valley' last year in a completely empty arena, in the round and stripped down, said Hill. "It was a blast. We channeled Elvis by setting the stage as if we were back in 1968 (his comeback special). These songs and being a part of the special reminded me of who he was, what he stood for; he defined what it was and is to be an entertainer."
The "Viva Las Vegas" special, produced in cooperation with Elvis Presley Enterprises, originally aired on Sept. 18, 2007. The special included Celine Dion, Aerosmith, and Paul McCartney. The complete two-hour special, which includes Faith's covers of "That's All Right Mama" and "Peace in the Valley," is set for a DVD release this spring.

The first time Hill steers away from overly philharmonic-ready material, she heads straight for swing town with horns a plenty on both Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town. and Holly Jolly Christmas. ...
Finally, after 14 years in the recording business and more than 30 charting songs, Faith Hill released a greatest hits plus package. The songs go all the way from "Wild One" and "Piece of My Heart," her first two singles ever from 1993 and 1994 with both going number one up to "Mississippi Girl" from 2005 plus a few new songs.
Hill had more of a country vibe starting out, but grew progressively pop (the new and catchy, but not very country "Red Umbrella"). ...
Faith Hill stayed so far from her country roots with 2003's "Cries" that she laid an egg on country radio. The album was so pop that there was nothing for radio to play.
Hill did not make the same mistake twice as there is a significant amount of country instrumentation starting with the Dan Dugmore banjo and Stuart Duncan mandolin on the lead off "Sunshine and Summertime."
