TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan Podcast


Feb 22, 2022

Oh hey! What's happened since last week? Nothing big, right? We're just gonna quietly pick right back up where we left off, with a full-throated defense of "He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad."

It's the second part of Justin and Ryan's review of 1968's Speedway, starring Elvis, Nancy Sinatra and Bill Bixby!

Plus, for Song of the Week, Ryan knows "It's Impossible" to put into words just how big Armando Manzanero's original "Somos Novios" is even today, so he focuses in on Elvis's 1972 cover of the English-language version.

Then, Justin spotlights an overlooked Otis Blackwell & Winfield Scott cut from the early 60s, "Please Don't Drag That String Around."
