Miranda does Elvis

Rising country music star Miranda Lambert -- who gets the Live From interview treatment in the latest issue of Cowboys & Indians -- will honor music legend Elvis Presley by performing "Jailhouse Rock" on the upcoming ABC special Elvis: Viva Las Vegas. The two-hour TV extravaganza, set to air at 9 pm EDT Sept. 18, will examine how the King of Rock 'n' Roll affected Las Vegas. During the program, some musical artists will talk about the influence Elvis had on them, while others others perform covers of their favorite Elvis songs. Lambert is part of a star-studded lineup that also includes Toby Keith and Aerosmith's Joe Perry (who'll perform a duet of "Mystery Train"), along with Faith Hill, Paul McCartney and Willie Nelson.
