TCBCast 333: The Elvis is Back! Sessions, Part 2
Description
Gurdip and Justin wrap up their coverage of the March & April 1960 recording sessions that resulted in "Elvis is Back!" and three number one singles and the guys ponder whether these may have been the best sessions Elvis ever undertook.
Then after the main topic, Gurdip taps out and Ryan Droste hops into the ring for a bit of Elvis news regarding the upcoming Oprah special with Riley Keough on October 8 and then Song of the Week, with Ryan returning to his favorite Elvis movie, "It Happened At the World's Fair" and its smoldering song of seduction, "Relax." Then, Justin closes things out by trying to put Elvis's 1957 recording of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" in context by showcasing how different it is from the only prior recorded versions between Bing Crosby's original and Elvis's version, and attempting to forget all about the other several thousand versions that followed.
