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.
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.

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.

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. 🤠
