Description

Gurdip and Justin get together this week to dig into the 1965 compilation album "Elvis for Everyone" and ponder what reasons there might have been behind the scenes for this oddball collection of previously unreleased tracks put out to mark the 10th anniversary of Elvis's RCA contract.  Before that, though, the guys briefly discuss the trailers for "Priscilla" and the Paramount+ documentary "Reinventing Elvis" being produced by Steve Binder, and then get into a substantial discussion about the ramifications of breakthrough technology that's made potential AI-assisted songs featuring the voices of artists like Elvis much more viable on a user level - and the reaction EPE gave Rolling Stone when asked their thoughts on AI Elvis songs... and some exclusive news on that front that Justin has been holding onto and unable to discuss until now. For Song of the Week, Justin waltzes his way to "This is Our Dance," the Les Reed-Geoff Stephens ballad that was a loose re-imagining of their own Engelbert Humperdinck hit, "The Last Waltz" surfacing on the "Love Letters from Elvis" album in 1971. Then, Gurdip steps right up to "The Love Machine" from the 1967 film "Easy Come Easy Go." 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.
