Spotify's Insights blog once again uses data gathered by its Echo Nest, this time to create "The Elvis Influence," an application that traces any performer you enter all the way back to Elvis by way of influence. Some performers obviously have longer trails back to The King than others so often, unlike Kevin Bacon, you need more than six steps to get back.
