Description

Just a brief technical note: this episode was edited from a backup, so our apologies if there are any audio quality issues. We've "Patched It Up, Baby" as best we can. This week's TCBCast is structured a little differently, Gurdip does his Song of the Week first while discussing legendary Canadian folk singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot's recent passing at age 84, digging into Elvis' version of Lightfoot's "(That's What You Get) For Loving Me." Then, our main topic and Justin's Song of the Week meld together as he gives an abbreviated biographical sketch remembering the life of Elvis' Sun Records peer Billy "The Kid" Emerson, writer of "When It Rains, It Really Pours" as well as the rockabilly classic "Red Hot," as Emerson passed away on April 25 at age 97. Next week, we dig into Elvis' time on the Louisiana Hayride! https://www.tampabay.com/features/humaninterest/the-second-coming-of-billy-the-kid/2191119/ https://www.suncoastnews.com/news/rock-n-roll-legend-honored-at-city-hall/article_ffc75dd6-29d3-11e7-91f6-f3b69b9a3847.html https://www.suncoastnews.com/news/officials-agree-to-preserve-historic-tarpon-home/article_d1033e2c-195b-11eb-965c-5f4b8f16fb03.html https://www.bear-family.com/emerson-billy-the-kid-red-hot-the-sun-years-plus.html https://fredbals.medium.com/credit-where-due-bob-dylan-billy-emerson-and-false-prophet-89c708aa4e1 Peter Guralnick & Colin Escott: Sun Record Company, The Birth of Rock and Roll and the 70 Recordings That Changed the World Also, liner notes for the 1982 Charly Records Emerson compilation "Crazy 'Bout Automobiles"

"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.
