"T.G. Sheppard is an Elvis authority and was a close friend of the King," shares McLean. "I really enjoyed talking to him about Elvis and any topic he asked me to discuss. T.G.'s accomplishments in country music as a songwriter and performer are enormous and I told him, maybe I should have been interviewing him. He's a regular fella and a good Ol boy and I'm happy to call him my friend." "My conversation with this iconic artist has to be in my top five favorite interviews that I've done since the inception of my show," says Sheppard. "He is so unique that while speaking with him, I had the feeling that I had known him for years. There is no doubt that we will be friends for years to come. Don is truly one of music's great treasures."Videos
