Elviss stormy daughter proved she had her daddys sneer with her unexpectedly OK 2003 debut, To Whom It May Concern. But it was the Kings voice, not his attitude, that made his reign a lifetime thing, so on the follow-up, Lisa Marie strives to show shes more than a rebel child. The big 80s-style production highlights her breathy-sexy vulnerability, but Presleys better when she rocks, as on the Joan Jett tribute Idiot, featuring former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, and the hidden track Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, a Ramones cover that shows her grasp of that great bands serious side. And she does a nice job channeling Don Henleys tight-assed anti-tabloid indignation on a cover of his Dirty Laundry. More often, though, Presley opts for therapeutic tearjerkers like Shine, which wastes a chance for her to duke it out with guest vocalist Pink.
