TCBCast Bonus - "Vinyl: The King and I" Commentary & Bonus Songs of the Month

TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan Podcast

This week, enjoy a sampler from the TCBCast Patreon bonus episode archives as Gurdip and Justin revisit the 7th episode of the 2016 HBO program "Vinyl," a show centered around a struggling fictional record label in the 1970s trying to scoop up real life popular artists. In the episode "The King and I," the series protagonists visit Vegas in an attempt to sign Elvis (played by ETA Shawn Klush) to leave RCA and Colonel Parker, and get him back to his rock roots.

Also featured post-discussion are two "Songs of the Month" from the July 2022 episode of TCBCast Now, both songs from Elvis peers as Gurdip spotlights Englebert Humperdinck's 1968 hit "A Man Without Love" and Justin rides into the town of Agua Fria to celebrate Marty Robbins' "Big Iron."
