Description

No less than five* different releases from the official Elvis collector label Follow That Dream have featured recordings by a man with a distinct voice simply named "Jimmy Breedlove." But upon looking further, revealed is a man produced by Jesse Stone, who worked with Winfield Scott, sang for LaVern Baker, Ruth Brown, Ivory Joe Hunter and Big Joe Turner, who signed to Epic Records like Roy Hamilton, released an LP on RCA Camden, and wrote singles for Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders and Julie Rogers. So who was this man? What is his story? Where did he go, and why did he slip through the cracks of rock and roll history only to wind up on a bunch of Elvis CDs? This week, we're uncovering the mystery behind Jim Breedlove. For Song of the Week, while Gurdip goes very nearly all the way to the beginning, picking Elvis' personal demo "I'll Never Stand in Your Way," Justin selects "I Don't Want To" which was cut from Girls! Girls! Girls! despite appearing on the soundtrack and in the trailer. If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

"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.
