@andrewhickey.500songs.com I know this is random and out of nowhere but I'm listening to extracted tracks from "If I Can Dream" tonight and more clearly hearing Tommy Tedesco and Al Casey from underneath the arrangement is wild. So "Wrecking Crew" it hurts in THE BEST way.

Is it weird that after sleeping on it and thinking about what to say, the thing I'm probably most annoyed about is that Angie from Graceland told the President that "Unchained Melody" was recorded in the Jungle Room?

"For Justin Gausman, who co-hosts TCBCast, a podcast devoted to Presley, one of the movie’s triumphs is that it makes the singer’s 'artistic process legible and accessible to anyone.'" Thanks Elias Leight from WSJ, and thanks Baz & co. for rehabilitating Elvis's image as a creative force.

This is what makes how Elvis became such a symbol to conservatives in the 1970s onward so fascinating to study. "He's a good clean humble boy who loves his mama, country & God" is a wildly incomplete misunderstanding of Elvis Presley as a human being, but just enough surface level elements appear...

We were disappointed by Peter Guralnick's new book "The Colonel & The King" We were open to a sympathetic read on Elvis' manager - someone we've never viewed as a simple villain - but instead we got omissions, misleading interpretations & internal contradictions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Our episode this week was about Elvis’s non-movie recording sessions in May 1963 & Jan. 1964 which, while giving us iconic recordings like “Devil in Disguise” and “It Hurts Me,” never resulted in an LP, instead being spread out over 5 years’ worth of releases. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My wife spotted this magazine in the racks at Walmart yesterday, with the article marking Elvis’ 90th birthday by looking at some of his “western” films. Ironically, the magazine still named “Cowboys & INDIANS” in 2024 left out “Stay Away Joe.” A bridge too far even for them. 🤠

One of our highlight episodes of the year was our crossover with our friend John from the EAP Society to explore the history of Memphis’ music, how Elvis’ music was shaped by cultural, social and political happenings in the city - and how he in turn shaped Memphis’s music scene.
