Description

Oh hey! What's happened since last week? Nothing big, right? We're just gonna quietly pick right back up where we left off, with a full-throated defense of "He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad." It's the second part of Justin and Ryan's review of 1968's Speedway, starring Elvis, Nancy Sinatra and Bill Bixby! Plus, for Song of the Week, Ryan knows "It's Impossible" to put into words just how big Armando Manzanero's original "Somos Novios" is even today, so he focuses in on Elvis's 1972 cover of the English-language version. Then, Justin spotlights an overlooked Otis Blackwell & Winfield Scott cut from the early 60s, "Please Don't Drag That String Around."

"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.
