Description

Andreas van Kuijk. Thomas A. Parker. The Colonel. As selected by TCBCast Patreon supporters, Justin and Gurdip finally address the never-ending debate of the good and bad of Colonel Parker's management decisions for his client, examining his influence on Elvis's career and the entertainment industry overall. For Song of the Week, Gurdip shines a light on the second half of Elvis's first single, "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and its roots in Bill Monroe's bluegrass style. Meanwhile, Justin ticks away the time until he can feature "It's A Matter of Time," the country-tinged adult contemporary B-side of "Burning Love."  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.
