TCBCast 318: Elvis '99: Looking Back at 1999's Releases

TCBCast: An Unofficial Elvis Presley Fan Podcast

Bec & Justin bask in some nostalgia for their days as younger Elvis fans at the turn of the 21st century, reflecting on the major mainstream BMG Elvis releases from 1999 and how those releases influenced the crew's perspectives on Elvis' creative journey. From period retrospectives "Suspicious Minds: The 1969 Anthology," "Sunrise," "The Home Recordings," "Burning Love" and "Tomorrow is A Long Time" to hits compilations like "Can't Help Falling in Love: The Hollywood Hits" and "Artist of the Century" - and, naturally, the first ever Follow That Dream releases - 1999 was a good year for Elvis fans.

For Song of the Week, both hosts go for fairly reflective, contemplative songs, with Justin selecting 1969's understated "This is the Story" and Bec digging into "It's Over," most famously featured in Elvis' "Aloha From Hawaii" special from 1973.
