Gurdip and Justin delve into the recording sessions from May 1963 and January 1964 which produced songs initially spread out across numerous singles and albums over a five year span. While the music reflected a more polished Nashville-tinged pop sound that Elvis had been subtly building upon in the early 60s, giving us such iconic recordings as "Devil in Disguise," "Memphis Tennessee" and "It Hurts Me," fans at the time never quite got the chance to take full stock of what Elvis was artistically doing at this moment in time.

But decades later, the material comprised the retrospective compilation "For the Asking" aka "The Lost Album." The guys sit down to look back on all of it.

For the first Songs of the Week of 2025, Gurdip surprises with a short excursion to hear Elvis' live on-stage gag performances of "The Mickey Mouse Club March." Then, Justin spotlights "Look Out Broadway," the aspirational showtune from "Frankie and Johnny" that makes numerous Gilded Age pop culture references and features vocalists Ray Walker and Eileen Wilson chiming in as other characters... in one of the very few traditional musicals Elvis ever made in his film career!
