Justin, Jamie, and John continue their exploration of Hal Wallis's 1957 production, "Loving You," by delving into the stories behind Elvis's costars and how they ended up in the film, particularly Lizabeth Scott and Dolores Hart. Then the guy ponder Loving You's legacy as to how the film handles the cultural zeitgeist around Elvis Presley, seriously contemplate whether Loving You or Jailhouse Rock does it better... and call into question several reasons why the latter has historically received more praise.
Then, for Song of the Week, Justin takes the backseat and lets John steal the show with his heartbreaking, must-hear interpretation of Elvis's 1956 recording of the old country weeper, "Old Shep." Jamie, on the other hand, takes things a bit lighter and reminds us just how rocking Elvis's country material could be with the 1970 cut "It's Your Baby, You Rock It."
