Description

Hey TCBCast listeners - April was a rough month for the hosts, so they're taking things a bit easy this week as a mental reset in anticipation of a full slate of content for the month of May. Gurdip and Justin discuss some light Elvis news, answer some listener messages, and then for Song of the Week, Gurdip is uplifted by "Beyond the Bend" from the It Happened At the World's Fair soundtrack, while Justin take a look at the upbeat "In Your Arms" from the Something For Everybody soundtrack. Then, Justin veers off in a totally different direction to spend a little time getting off his chest his unusual fascination with Elvis soundalike Marvin Benefield's uncanny, original 1962 recording "Don't Go," cut at the same session as Tommy Roe's "Sheila" under producer Felton Jarvis and with many of the same Nashville band members working on Elvis's early 60s pop material.

"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.
