Description

First up this week is a farewell to the heartbeat of the TCB Band: the incomparable Ronnie Tutt, who passed away this week. Then, inspired by TCBCast Patreon supporters' recent topic suggestion covering The Milton Berle Show, Justin & Gurdip head right into Elvis' next TV appearance on The Steve Allen Show on July 1, 1956 (as well as briefly touch on his appearance on Hy Gardner Calling later that night.) In suit and tails, singing to a basset hound and later as "Tumbleweed Presley," the guys mull over whether it was really as bad as people have made it out to be in the intervening decades, including Elvis himself. Then, for Song of the Week, Justin spotlights the highly overlooked "There Is No God But God" which was sourced from Ink Spots lead singer Bill Kenny. Gurdip, beyond all sense and reason, tries to make a case for "Hey Little Girl" from Harum Scarum. Justin tries harder than the song deserves to give it a fair reading based on his knowledge of how Elvis's films were constructed but still comes up short, despite Gurdip's insistence on liking it.  Featured Songs of the Week: Justin: There Is No God But God Gurdip: Hey Little Girl

"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.
