BONUS: TCBCast Jukebox - Jackie Wilson "He's So Fine" AND TCBCast Now - "Gone Country"

TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan Podcast

Hey all - as discussed in the intro to this, we're taking a one-week hiatus, partly for Justin's birthday, partly due to some necessary & unavoidable schedule shuffling on our back end. We'll be back next week with a split episode between Bec & Justin on Elvis as Producer/Arranger and Gurdip & Justin on Songs of the Week.

This week, rather than dropping an old Songs of the Week compilation as we would have done in the past, we're giving a sampler of some Patreon content from 2021, two episodes packed into one!

First up is the first episode of our "TCBCast Jukebox" spin-off where Justin and Gurdip review albums & singles from Elvis's contemporaries or influences, starting with Jackie Wilson's 1958 debut solo LP "He's So Fine."

Then, on our general pop culture project, TCBCast Now, alongside some movie/game/TV/music time capsule news from June 2021 (with surprisingly lots of Elvis talk!!), Gurdip gets put to the challenge of reacting to 8 country music songs Justin grew up with from the 80s-00s, then both guys continue the country theme by spotlighting a country song apiece in "Song of the Month."

Gurdip tackles Canadian entertainer Colter Wall's rootsy "The Devil Wears a Suit & Tie" while Justin, tying in an interesting Colonel Parker connection, chooses "Heartland" from the 1992 film "Pure Country" starring George Strait.

Hopefully you enjoy hearing the type of content that's been available as bonuses to qualifying Patreon backers through what's now coming up on two years! We always weave a vein of Elvis through our bonus content, while also showcasing more of our broader interests beyond him. We also feature unofficial commentaries and bonus movie reviews on both Elvis - & early rock-n-roll-related films.
