About this episode
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Elvis Presley was just 18 years old when he recorded his first hit record for Sun Records, and 18 short months later he was a national phenomenon. In the space between he finished the recordings for this self-titled debut album which purposely leaves off his hit singles. The boys discuss early slap back effects, bad guitar solos, and the pointlessness of trying to cover Little Richard.
