This week's episode of TCBCast, just in time for Elvis Week 2021, features Justin & Olivia taking a close look at the 1957 LP "Loving You," which serves as both the soundtrack for the film of the same name, but also as the third proper Elvis studio album. Does it hold up as either, decades later, or has its movie connections left it lumped in with later soundtracks?
Elvis news this week include announcements of an Elvis Week event at Graceland set to unveil a new boxed set, and our theories, along with a discussion of the ramifications of Elvis deepfakes.
For Song of the Week, Olivia highlights a rare rehearsal recording of Elvis riffing on Lloyd Price's iconic "Stagger Lee" while Justin cuts loose and starts "Slicin' Sand."
