This week, Justin and Gurdip are taking a look at the 1970 compilation "Almost in Love," released on the budget Camden label. It's arguably Elvis's strongest release on Camden, with a retrospectively strong tracklist featuring groovy recordings like A Little Less Conversation, Rubberneckin', Clean Up Your Own Back Yard, and Edge of Reality.
For Song of the Week, Justin draw attention the leak in this old building covering "We're Gonna Move" from 1956's Love Me Tender and its gospel roots. Gurdip decides to go against the grain and find the "Confidence" to cover the children's song from 1967's Clambake - and finds a totally listenable and fun cover version!
But before all that, we pay our respects and remember musician Ron Glaser, who tragically passed away recently, and reflect on "The Pledge" the heartfelt song he cowrote and performed with Chris Fillmore using Elvis & Billy Smith's own words. Ron's work both as a solo artist and with The Ridin' Dudes remain on a number of streaming and digital music platforms to add to your library.
