Andreas van Kuijk. Thomas A. Parker. The Colonel.

As selected by TCBCast Patreon supporters, Justin and Gurdip finally address the never-ending debate of the good and bad of Colonel Parker's management decisions for his client, examining his influence on Elvis's career and the entertainment industry overall.

For Song of the Week, Gurdip shines a light on the second half of Elvis's first single, "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and its roots in Bill Monroe's bluegrass style. Meanwhile, Justin ticks away the time until he can feature "It's A Matter of Time," the country-tinged adult contemporary B-side of "Burning Love."
