Description

No foolin'! We're taking a look this week at the long and storied history of Elvis impersonators, from as early as 1954 to present day. Many impersonators and tribute artists cut material that had some level of critical, commercial or artistic success, so we especially deep dive those, and we ponder what Elvis would have thought of the ETA phenomenon. Plus, Justin hops on his soapbox. Then, for Song of the Week, we twist it around and feature two of the songs we like the least. While Justin tries to find the bright side of "Woman Without Love," Gurdip knows where to find the prettiest girl in the whole darn US of A. Our appearance on the Let It Roll Podcast with Nate Wilcox dropped Monday, March 30, 2020. Thanks so much to Nate for having us on to discuss Peter Guralnick's "Last Train to Memphis." Check that out for some bonus Elvis listening this week! http://www.letitrollpodcast.com/episodes/how-elvis-presley-rose-to-the-top Featured Songs of the Week: Justin: Woman Without Love Gurdip: Three Corn Patches

"Elvis is history," Carl Perkins once said, "and anytime anyone or anything becomes history, whether it be Pearl Harbor or Elvis, it will never go away. The world will never tire of his songs." TCBCast is an unofficial fan podcast featuring co-hosts Gurdip Ladhar and Justin Gausman, along with regular guest co-hosts Ryan Droste and Bec Wyles, plus an array of Elvis fans and experts setting out to better understand that history, and those songs. Tackling topics from throughout Elvis's lifetime and beyond, TCBCast seeks to offer thoughtful, intelligent, heartfelt and honest discourse on Presley's career, his influences, the people who made his work possible, and the cultural phenomenon surrounding his iconography. TCBCast is not associated with or endorsed by Graceland, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Authentic Brands Group or Sony.
