Re: Elvis when you least expect it

OK, finally a little more about the time I got to spend with EC in the NOLA airport the day after the Jazzfest show with AT et al. I'll try not to go on at length to avoid the friends rolling their eyes looks I've received in the last few weeks ala "Let Me Tell You About Her" or it / the c...

Re: Elvis and Robert Plant/Alison Krauss

One of the topics EC and I talked about in the NOLA airport was this show at Jazzfest. The combination was great and the showwas certainly a highlight of a great set of shows in the 3 days. I related that RP introduced one song with something like "When I was 12 and first starting to learn to s...

Re: Elvis, Allen play New Orleans April 27 '08

Yes We Can Can was in the show for sure - my mistake

The horns and AT were not on stage for any of the Momo songs except My Three Sons and they didn't play on that one as I remember. EC actually asked AT to stay on stage for the song

Re: Elvis, Allen play New Orleans April 27 '08

Re: 'Lost Highway will release Momofuku from Elvis Costello'

I'll start by saying it usually takes a little while for me to entirely warm to EC's new stuff. Last time I can remember a great first listen was Imperial Bedroom, until Sunday However the amazing ability to musically shape shift is on display again with Momofuku, and employs both old and new freind...

Interestingly Tony indirectly addressed the prior two posts last night. He said "I don't beleive in demographics, just good music" during one of his anti-corporate music business answers. They also talked about jazz being the only American art form and the need to understand where the musi...

Re: New TV show: "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with ..."

Elvis' only song at the Tony Bennett show tonight was Cold, Cold Heart. He said that he will always sing a song written by, or associated with, the guest over the opening credits. They talked about how Tony's version of CCH was the first time that Hank Williams had a song crossover at a time when co...
