Description
This week Justin & Gurdip are joined by musician, songwriter and Elvis enthusiast Joe Var Veri, who's known on YouTube for his unique covers of Elvis and other classic rock acts as well as original material. Hailing originally from Melbourne, Australia, Joe deep dives Elvis' creative process as a musician, the value of live performing as an artist, and highlights some of his most memorable recordings, including his version of "I'm Leavin'," which was given the stamp of approval by songwriter Michael Jarret. If you'd like to hear more of Joe, check out joevarveri.com and youtube.com/joevarveri. We also recommend checking out material from his wife, comedian Veronica Mosey, at veronicamosey.com. Then, for Song of the Week, Justin brings to light the many Elvis connections to the currently popular "1940s rapping but wait for ittttt" video featuring gospel group The Jubalaires. Later known as the Jubilee Four, bass singer George McFadden served as one of the only artists Elvis ever sang backup for in the studio on "The Climb" from 1964's "Viva Las Vegas." So much cool history here in this one! Then, inspired by the From Elvis in Nashville set, Gurdip surprises with his pick of the bluegrass classic (and Elvis deep cut) "A Hundred Years from Now."
