TCBCast 259: Favorite Elvis Country Songs

TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan Podcast

This week, Gurdip and Justin sit down with a handful of their favorite Elvis country recordings.

For Song of the Week, Gurdip picks the traditional Mexican song "Guadalajara," an ode to the city of the same name, which Elvis recorded for a 1963 film set in Acapulco, a city over 500 miles away... oops!

Then, Justin bites the bullet and makes the case that "Barefoot Ballad" from Kissin Cousins was a lazy attempt to mock the country genre that had no teeth, pairing a genuinely credible country instrumental by the Nashville A-Team with lyrics that don't actually have any satirical bite.

NOTE: Recorded before the Academy Awards ceremony, our reactions to that news will come next week.
