TCBCast 388: Waiting for Something EPiC to Happen

Gurdip joins Justin for one last shorter pre-Christmas episode as we look back on 2025 and what 2026 may hold for Elvis fans, briefly discuss the EPiC teaser & poster, the news of Making of G.I. Blues FTD's release, and the passing of Raul Malo, lead singer of the Mavericks, who took influence from Elvis's work - discussed back on Episode 275 of TCBCast. Following up from Justin's previous Song of the Week, listener Rob sends in an email taking a crack at translating "Lilla klocka ring igen," the Swedish version of "On A Snowy Christmas Night" and Gurdip shakes off the rust for a classic round of Elvis trivia. For Song of the Week, Gurdip brings the brief "Wheels On My Heels" from 1964's "Roustabout" while Justin tackles the history behind Johnny Tillotson's "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'," which Elvis covered on the iconic "From Elvis in Memphis" album.
