TCBCast 392: Leiber, Stoller & Elvis
Gurdip & Justin kick off 2026 with an exploration of the many songs written by iconic rock and roll songwriting/producing duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller that were recorded by Elvis, and ultimately provide their Top 5 lists of their personal favorites. From Hound Dog to Jailhouse Rock, Trouble to Bossa Nova Baby and beyond, it's all discussed in here - as well as a light overview of their careers, songs and productions before and after working with Elvis. The guys also catch up on several weeks of listener emails, break down the new "Wearin' That Night Life Look" remix from the upcoming soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's EPiC, and of course dig into two Songs of the Week. Gurdip celebrates the New Year by telling us the history behind "Auld Lang Syne" which Elvis performed in concert twice in the 1970s during New Year's Eve shows, then Justin finds his thrill on "Blueberry Hill," the 1940s hit that was revived by rock legend Fats Domino in 1956 and subsequently covered by Elvis on the "Loving You" album and occasionally brought into his setlist during the 1970s. We highly recommend the compilation "Elvis Sings Leiber & Stoller" which is available on digital storefronts (with added "Three Corn Patches" which was missing from the original physical release), "Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography" and Ace Records' wonderfully curated compilation series "The Leiber & Stoller Story" bringing together a mix of well-known and lesser-heard songs written and produced by the two musical partners.
