TCBCast 257: The American Sound Sessions, Part 1 - January 1969

This week, Justin and Bec go deep into the first portion of Elvis's iconic 1969 sessions at Chips Moman's American Sound studio in Memphis, starting from Long Black Limousine and concluding with what would become his first #1 hit since 1965. They also discuss what was so remarkable about Chips as producer, several of American Sound's other hit recordings, and the brilliance of the American house band, The Memphis Boys. Also explored are the five known songs released from Elvis influence Roy Hamilton's American Sound sessions from that same period as well. There are no Songs of the Week this week.
