TCBCast 360: Girls! Girls! Girls! - Our Favorite Elvis's Songs w/Women's Names 2:19:39

il y a environ 7 jours2:19:39

2:19:39

Bec and Justin discuss their favorites of the many songs Elvis recorded or performed titled after the women and girls they're about by name. From Caroline to Petunia, Marguerita to Marie and Annie to Kathleen, the tunes span the breadth of love, heartbreak and stories of unique musical characters. For Song of the Week, Justin takes the opportunity to jump from Elvis's messy but fun home recording of "San Antonio Rose" to explore a bit of the history behind Bob Wills' iconic western swing hit, examine contemporary perspectives that challenge our ideas of what the boundaries of oldies "country" music were, and how the Texas Playboys' work paved the way for rockabilly and rock and roll. Then Bec celebrates a belated Easter, spotlighting Elvis's heartfelt 1973 cover of Dottie Rambo's "If That Isn't Love," a gospel record all about Jesus's sacrifice, as well as explore a bit of the detail behind the friendship Elvis and Dottie shared and his deep appreciation for the music of her family group, The Rambos.

TCBCast 359: Favorite Tracks with David Briggs & Elvis (feat. John Michael Heath) 2:07:50

il y a environ 15 jours2:07:50

2:07:50

This week, John Michael Heath from EAP Society joins Justin to reflect on the music of pianist, producer, and songwriter David Briggs, who first joined Elvis in the recording studio in 1966 and continued working through the rest of Elvis's career periodically in and out of sessions and live shows. David passed away this past week at the age of 82. The guys select some of their favorite tracks featuring David's work, and also remember Wink Martindale and Will Hutchins who both passed away as well. For Song of the Week, call it a belated Easter segment, with Justin selecting Elvis's versions of the country standard "There Goes My Everything" and its gospel counterpart "He Is My Everything" from the early 1970s. John then gives us a quick primer on how to interpret Elvis's approach to the melding white and black gospel traditions for the How Great Thou Art sessions before spotlighting the more direct influence of Jimmy Jones & The Sensationals on "So High." Justin then takes the baton and together the duo explore the earlier (and Biblical) roots of the song and a couple neat secularized R&B versions of the same song.

TCBCast 358: "Welcome to My World" (1977) - An Album Discussion (feat. Rabia from "Suddenly: A Frank Sinatra Podcast) 2:27:59

il y a environ 21 jours2:27:59

2:27:59

Rabia from "Suddenly: A Frank Sinatra Podcast" and "TCBCast After Dark" joins Justin for a main feed discussion all about the 1977 compilation "Welcome to My World," which brought together an intriguing collection of country recordings spanning from 1958-1973 with some loose thematic threads that we try to tease out. Plus, Rabia dug up a handful of original contemporary reviews that reveal how critics received this album at the time, both positively and negatively! For Song of the Week, as voted on by TCBCast Patreon backers, Justin rolls with the final track featured on the album, Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You" which was a mainstay of Elvis's setlists for a number of years and also recorded as a jam during his 1969 sessions. Justin reflects on Gibson's original, Ray Charles' iconic cover, and what Elvis might have intended with his frequent inclusion of it in his live shows. Rabia then takes us home with a dive into the rare one-liner Elvis did (twice!) of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," a Tin Pan Alley song resurrected in 1968 - the same year Elvis was filmed on the set of his NBC TV special singing the song - by the immensely talented pop culture phenomenon that was Tiny Tim.

TCBCast 357: "Rocker," "Return of the Rocker" and the Rockabilly Revival Era (feat. Ghosty Wills from "We Say Yeah: A Cliff Richard Podcast") 2:17:11

il y a environ 29 jours2:17:11

2:17:11

David "Ghosty" Wills, host of "We Say Yeah: A Cliff Richard Podcast" and the Vintage Rock and Pop Shop joins Justin this week to explore how the "rockabilly revival" era, which technically spanned a near 20-year period between roughly 1970-1990 but culminated around 1981-83, led to the release of two compilations of Elvis material that RCA felt best captured his image as a rebellious rock and roll icon. From the 50s nostalgia of the 1970s to the success of acts like The Stray Cats, Robert Gordon, Dave Edmunds and Shakin' Stevens, Justin picks Ghosty's brain for his memories of becoming a young Elvis fan during this fascinating period of revitalization for classic rock and roll. For Song of the Week, Ghosty brings a thought-provoking finale to the main topic by looking for insights in The Stray Cats's 1992 recording "Elvis on Velvet;" a psychobilly takedown of the media's intense (and weird) fascinations with Elvis. Meanwhile, Justin heads back to the '50s myself to hear how Elvis transformed the country standard "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" into a jaunty, bopping tune on the 1957 "Loving You" album. Be sure to check out "We Say Yeah!" on all major podcast platforms! As mentioned early in the episode, you can also hear Ghosty interviewed about his work as a voice actor on the podcast "4Kids Flashback."

TCBCast 356: The G.I. Blues Sessions & Soundtrack 2:17:52

il y a 5 weeks2:17:52

2:17:52

For the first time since the third-ever episode of TCBCast, we're immersing ourselves fully in the music of the US Army's own Tulsa MacLean! Bec and Justin explore the three recording sessions in April & May 1960 that led to the iconic, bestselling #1 album. As it turns out, unusual for Elvis sessions, numerous songs had vastly different arrangements attempted as Elvis and the band struggled to find their footing with the material, as well as contend with external pressures that frustrated Elvis. With classic pop-tinged songs like "Wooden Heart," "Pocketful of Rainbows" and "Doin' the Best I Can" supplemented by material that alluded back to Elvis's earlier 1950s stylings like "Blue Suede Shoes," "Frankfort Special" and "Shoppin' Around," this was a ton of fun to explore. For Song of the Week, Justin decided to pick "Let's Be Friends," which was cut from the film "Change of Habit" and instead became the title track of a low-budget compilation the following year, and tries to puzzle out where it might have fit in the movie's story. Then Bec lays all her cards on the table, selecting "From A Jack to A King," the country classic that Elvis almost semi-jokingly laid down at Chips Moman's American Sound Studio.

TCBCast Bonus - Terry Stafford: "Suspicion" (1964) Album Discussion 51:05

il y a 6 weeks51:05

51:05

Gurdip's back!!! ...kinda? April Fools! Originally released back in May 2022 on our Patreon, Gurdip demanded to have his say about Terry Stafford and his famous cover of "Suspicion," so Justin obliged and they sat down not just with the single, but Terry's full 1964 album. Released on the Crusader Records label to capitalize on Stafford's surprise Top 5 success with his hit recording of the same name, "Suspicion" featured an array of Elvis-likes from original Brill Building songwriters behind some of Elvis's early '60s material, including Doc Pomus, Ben Weisman, Fred Wise, and Sid Wayne. As you'll hear, evidence strongly suggests that many, if not all, of the songs included were pitched to Elvis for consideration, with several even getting recorded. Justin also guides us a little further past the album to Stafford's post-Suspicion career, including later singles and more significantly as a songwriter himself, with such hits as Buck Owens' "Big in Vegas" and George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning." Joe W. Specht's short-but-thorough biography "The Life and Music of Terry Stafford" was immensely helpful to finding more information on Stafford's story. It's available as of this posting through Texas State University's website here: https://digital.library.txstate.edu/handle/10877/7519 No foolin' - This "TCBCast Jukebox" is one of our all-time favorites we've done. If you enjoyed this, we've also done bonus episodes about Elvis's musical contemporaries such as Ann-Margret, Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Platters, Dean Martin, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and many more, with more on the way as exclusive bonus content.

TCBCast 355: Elvis's Vehicle Songs 1:41:11

1:41:11

Intrigued by a concept thrown down by a listener, Bec and Justin decided to seriously just go for it and rank (ala the animal songs episode) Elvis's songs about modes of transportation - trains, cars, jet planes, the works. But they had to be substantially about the specific vehicle or use it heavily as a theme, not just a passing reference! As you'll hear, the team begins ranking them - and then to their horror realized after recording that they'd somehow forgotten the biggest and best of them all, so tagged on an ending to the main topic that rectified that little oversight!! Then, for Song of the Week, Justin takes the baton from his own previous SotW, digging into Elvis' minor hit recording of Jerry Chesnut's rowdy honky-tonk rocker, "T-R-O-U-B-L-E." Bec, meanwhile, goes light and selects "A World of Our Own" from 1962's "It Happened at the World's Fair." Wanna hear our list (plus a few miscellaneous other tracks)?

TCBCast 354: SOTW Spectacular - "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and "Trouble" 2:12:19

il y a 8 weeks2:12:19

2:12:19

Justin and Bec forego a typical main topic this week, opting instead for effectively two main topics with absolutely massive, iconic Songs of the Week! Bec's Song of the Week is "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and she explores the roots of it from the 1965 Italian ballad "Io che non vive (senza te)" through to Dusty Springfield's hugely successful English adaptation and eventually to Elvis's famous performances of it in the 1970s, across his 1970 Nashville sessions, the concerts filmed for "That's The Way It Is," and even much later and deeper into the decade. Justin then traces the lineage of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's legendary "Trouble," originally featured in the 1958 film "King Creole," but increasingly recognized over the years as one of Elvis's most enduring recordings, symbolizing the myth of him as a rebellious rocker, most prominently recently featured in Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis." We go deeper, though, touching on the history of stop-time in Dixieland jazz and, most influentially on Leiber/Stoller, in Muddy Waters's "Hoochie Coochie Man." Understanding the history behind that song, the hoochie coochie itself, and the way Trouble has become representative of expressions of both masculinity and femininity unlocks a deeper sense of the song's significance as one of the all-time masterpieces of Elvis's entire recorded works. Oh yeah, and the duo react to the first trailer for Disney's live action remake of Lilo & Stitch! If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

This week, Bec and Justin explore the history behind the Extended Play format and how this record format played an important part in the consumption of Elvis's music by fans during his early career with RCA, and also briefly explore some of the more obscure and interesting international EPs that caught their eyes while digging into the topic. Then for Song of the Week, both hosts go for some serious weepers, tackling iconic 70s breakup songs, with Justin selecting Elvis's melancholy version of Tony Joe White's "For Ol' Times Sake" and Bec spotlighting the heartbreaking 1972 hit "Separate Ways," which Elvis fans know was co-written by Elvis's good friend Red West, who gave the song a slightly autobiographical bent.

1:13:56

Gurdip and Justin continue their discussion of 1967's "Double Trouble" as this infamous Elvis film finally introduces its more zany comedic elements with The Wiere Brothers, Helene Winston's grabby "Gerda" and a goofy Captain and First Mate intent on blowing up their own ship. The wacky side characters liven up the back half of the story - though the script remains equally as confusing and its attempts at absurdity flounder. But - what if there's a twist to the story of Double Trouble that no one's ever pondered before that may make revisiting the film a bit more tolerable in the future? Justin's come up with a theory that may change the way you view the movie, though definitely not intended by the filmmakers!

TCBCast 351: The Worst Elvis Movie? "Double Trouble" TCBCast Review, Part 1 1:28:38

il y a 11 weeks1:28:38

1:28:38

This is it! We've finally decided to just do it and visit the one Elvis movie often considered to be among the worst of his narrative feature films, 1967's "Double Trouble," directed by Norman Taurog for MGM from a script by Jo Heims, and co-starring Annette Day, Yvonne Romain, John Williams, Monty Landis, Leon Askin, Norman Rossington, Chips Rafferty and The Wiere Brothers. It's classic TCBCast, just Justin and Gurdip on their own. Justin digs deeper than most and read through "The Choice," the obscure original 1960 novel that "Double Trouble" was VERY loosely inspired by (enough to merit a "story by" credit for author Marc Brandel, but that's about it.) Then, the guys dig into the "comedy" renowned for its story about killers lurking in the shadows hunting a rich heiress, bumbling jewel thieves, slapstick police officers, a mysterious femme fatale and waiting patiently for the age of consent. Promoted as a fun romp across "mad mod Europe," yet filmed entirely on set in the United States (not counting second unit) and mostly just set in Belgium, "Double Trouble" is perhaps one of the most contentious narrative films in the Elvis canon. And yet... one of us ends up liking it more than you might expect? You'll just have to listen and find out...

1:45:46

This week, to mark the Valentine's Day holiday, Gurdip, Bec and myself gave a listen to the one explicitly Valentine-themed Elvis compilation, released 40 years ago amid celebrations of Elvis's 50th birthday. Far from being a mere collection of famous love songs, some surprising deep cuts make the grade, but also a lot of songs about broken hearts, which confounds Gurdip. For Song of the Week, Bec digs into the title theme from 1961's "Wild in the Country," and Gurdip matches with another movie title track, this time from 1967's "Double Trouble." Justin, however, takes the opportunity to examine the history behind one of the few songs Elvis ever publicly declared among his favorites, "Padre," which he recorded in 1971 but wasn't released until 1973. Plus, if you're needing something to listen to today, we've got a special Valentine's Day playlist made up featuring songs from this album and a mix of other romantic tracks: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0eW2fGlc0x0CyAeTJIL9gw?si=dc41503407554785 If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

il y a 13 weeks1:23:01

1:23:01

Following on from Part 1, Justin, Olivia and guest host Chris Jones (of the "Hall of Songs" podcast) explore Elvis's Hot 100 hits that never made it to the Top 40, closing out the movie era with tracks from Speedway and Live A Little, Love A Little and moving into the 1970s, a decade that surprisingly offered Elvis far more pop success than may often be perceived, as only 5 of his single A-sides charted outside the Top 40 (and only the Christmas and gospel singles not charting whatsoever in the Hot 100). Also touched upon are the three posthumous Hot 100 hits that never reached the Top 40: The Elvis Medley, and the remixes of A Little Less Conversation and Rubberneckin'. For Song of the Week, Chris is inspired by having recently watched "The Big Lebowski" to pick Elvis's 1966 home recording of the Sons of the Pioneers cowboy classic that opens that film, "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds," while Olivia goes deep on the extensive history behind Elvis's version of the apocalyptic spiritual "I, John," rooted almost entirely in Black gospel tradition until Elvis's 1971 recording released on the "He Touched Me" album in '72.

Chris Jones from "Hall of Songs" ( hallofsongs.com or on any major podcast platform) joins Justin and Olivia for an exploration of Elvis's Billboard Hot 100 hits that charted outside of the Top 40; meaning #41-#100. Exploring Elvis's career through this unique angle shines a light on less-known songs, and some surprising famous ones that didn't go as high as you might think, while also revealing surprising insights about different periods of his music. All this is inspired by Chris and Tim Malcolm's upcoming new project "The Almost Famous," where they look at songs that only ever peaked at #41 on the Hot 100, of which Elvis has two and they may one day cover! Part 1 covers roughly 1956 through early 1968; we ran a bit long with our Songs of the Week so Part 2 - releasing Tuesday, Feb. 11, will cover 1968-2003 plus SOTW.
