Description

Justin and Bec go a little experimental and offbeat this week, deciding to formally and "scientifically" rank 11 of Elvis' home, studio and live performances which have "lonely," "lonesome" and "alone" in the title, as well as loosely exploring how Elvis is so frequently linked to the concept of loneliness - and some of the things Elvis himself had to say about feeling alone. It's been a bit since we've had a full-on, proper Song of the Week, so the hosts wipe the dust off as Bec brings the deceptively challenging bossa-nova-esque ballad "Almost in Love" from 1968's "Live A Little, Love A Little" while Justin digs into the country roots of "Release Me (And Let Me Love Again," a song Elvis periodically brought in and out of his setlists from 1970 (as featured on the "On STage 1970" album) all the way to his final concert.

"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.
