Following on the heels of "I'm Comin' Home" being featured in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, Gurdip and Justin sit down with the very underrated and under-discussed 1961 album "Something for Everybody." Recorded in a single March 1961 session just ahead of the filming of Blue Hawaii, "Something for Everybody" has slipped under the radar of many... but it's one of our favorites!
For Song of the Week, Justin leads off by dreaming of a "Winter Wonderland" amid the summer heat, only to find the much more somber, and less well known, origin story behind the holiday classic that Elvis cut in 1971. Gurdip, meanwhile, is inspired by an extracurricular encounter with a Lonnie Donegan song to pick Elvis's cover of Donegan's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," made most famous by Tom Jones. But spoiler alert... there's secret connection to a notable candid Elvis on Tour moment hidden within the history of that song!
