TCBCast 215: April Showers, May Flowers

Hey TCBCast listeners - April was a rough month for the hosts, so they're taking things a bit easy this week as a mental reset in anticipation of an excellent episode on The Sweet Inspirations next week and a full slate of content for the month of May.

Gurdip and Justin discuss some light Elvis news, answer some listener messages, and then for Song of the Week, Gurdip is uplifted by "Beyond the Bend" from the It Happened At the World's Fair soundtrack, while Justin take a look at the upbeat "In Your Arms" from the Something For Everybody soundtrack.

Then, Justin veers off in a totally different direction to spend a little time getting off his chest his unusual fascination with Elvis soundalike Marvin Benefield's uncanny, original 1962 recording "Don't Go," cut at the same session as Tommy Roe's "Sheila" under producer Felton Jarvis and with many of the same Nashville band members working on Elvis's early 60s pop material.
