TCBCast 197: His Hand in Mine feat. Ryan Droste

Ryan Droste returns to TCBCast for a holiday-appropriate look at "His Hand In Mine," Elvis's first full-length gospel album from 1960. Ryan & Justin dip a little into where the songs originated, and touch on the lengthy overnight marathon session that delivered two single A-sides and the full album of spirituals. For Song of the Week, Ryan puts on his jingle bells and Santa cap to explore the 1971 Christmas cut "If I Get Home on Christmas Day," while Justin, inspired by part of last week's discussion, gives a little love to 1963's overlooked "Blue River."
