Billy Ray Cyrus is paying homage to the king of rock-n-roll in his brand new music video for “Hey Elvis.”

The track was written by Bryan Adams and Gretchen Peters nearly 20 years ago and has what Cyrus describes as an “Elvis’ Where Are Thou” theme. The song combined the forces of Cyrus, Adams and “The Voice of Rock” Glenn Hughes for a fresh take on the song.

“He not only solidifies a magic pocket in the groove with his bass, but also injects the voice of rock onto the backend of the song,” the singer said of working with Hughes.

Cyrus has a special connection to Elvis, highlighted in a letter Johnny Cash sent to the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer.

“Thirty-six years ago I was working with Elvis and saw him take the same kind of flak you’re taking now,” wrote Cash. “Congratulations on the way you’re handling it all. In your case, as in Elvis’, the good outweighs the bad. Let ’em have it. I’m in your corner.”
