Description

Justin is joined this week by Tony Plews, author of Walk a Lonely Street: Elvis Presley, Country Music and the True Story of Heartbreak Hotel, to explore Elvis's impact on the United Kingdom: on the charts, in culture, and on future generations of British acts. Then, Justin forgoes a Song of the Week to let Tony tell the heartbreaking true story behind Irving Berlin's "White Christmas."  Tony's book is highly recommended by TCBCast and more information on the book and how to order can be found at www.georgesmithpublications.com.

"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.
