TCBCast 241: "The Lonesome Cowboy" (Loving You Review Part 1) feat. Jamie Kelley & John Michael Heath of EAP Society

Musician, actor, songwriter, producer and past TCBCast guest Jamie Kelley returns with Elvis collector & expert John Michael Heath, the co-host of their new YouTube video series EAP Society, to sit down with Justin to talk all about what they've been up to in the past couple years, their history as collectors, and then get down into the nitty gritty behind the classic 1957 film starring Elvis Presley himself, "Loving You." But first - we take a "Detour" to analyze the original short story it was based on, Mary Agnes Thompson's "A Call From Mitch Miller," first published in a June 1956 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, then dive headlong into the cinematic tale of rock and roll singer Deke Rivers, who comes up through the country and western field with the help of an exploitative manager, only to explode into mass popularity that sets off a firestorm of controversy among those who say his music corrupts youth and... hey, wait a minute... something about this seems oddly familiar? As we discuss the soundtrack, Justin also begin laying down the rails for a story that runs parallel to the making of Loving You and connects thematically with the movie and will be concluded on the next episode, along with Songs of the Week!
