That sounds like Rusty!

Profits of the recent Resurrection CD are to go to Austen's Musicians Treatment Foundation - which is yet another reason to purchase it.

It’s bound to be Allan Mayes isn’t it?

I wonder who else.

How I’d love to see something like this in the UK.

Maybe we should all fly over from this side of the pond for a meet-up followed by this gig? :wink:

I am imagining T Bone Burnett with this show title and the recent chatter of new songs done together. Enjoy all who will get there.

ELVIS COSTELLO + FRIENDS TO PERFORM KING OF AMERICA & OTHER REALMS IN A VERY SPECIAL BENEFIT FOR MUSICIAN TREATMENT FOUNDATION

Featuring: Elvis Costello, Rosanne Cash, John Leventhal, Allan Mayes, and many more.

Musical Director: Charlie Sexton. Producer: T Bone Burnett.

PREMIUM BENEFACTOR TICKETS AVAILABLE AT MTFUSA.COM
Celebrating five years of providing upper limb care for injured musicians, Musician Treatment Foundation (MTF ) is honored to present a very special evening of artistry. Elvis Costello has teamed up with his friend T Bone Burnett to produce a concert to raise additional funds to support MTF’s mission and work. An exciting live auction will include a guitar autographed by Costello and special items from other artists and supporters.

This year’s benefit concert, with so many other award-winning musicians joining Elvis on stage, is a celebration of five years successfully pursuing our mission and helping so many, as well as a night to honor Elvis Costello’s immense, eclectic, collaborative genius as a consummate musician. He is a gift that truly keeps on giving to Keep the Music Playing, and December 2nd will be an evening to remember.” Sharing plans for the evening, Elvis Costello said:

“ King Of America ” was my first full-length collaboration with T Bone Burnett, who produced and cast the record. It was the first album that I made after “ My Aim Is True” that was not entirely performed with the Attractions. The songs I had written invited a very different instrumental approach. T Bone took a fountain pen and wrote a cast list for an album that made my head spin, proposing and then booking players who had accompanied Elvis Presley, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Bob Dylan.

In 37 years since we made that record my world has opened ever more to playing and singing with a wide variety of musicians, yet the songs from “King Of America” remain close to my heart, written as they were from my understanding of American country-soul balladry and the narrative songs tradition found on my other albums that T Bone has produced; “ Spike”, “Secret Profane & Sugarcane ” and “ National Ransom. ”

It feels like time and the right occasion to fling the door open and revisit these tunes and others written from the same curiosities, inviting some friends and newer voices to enjoy “King Of America & Other Realms.” Musician Treatment Foundation is proud to present this once in a lifetime special concert performance.

Yeah, me too BA.
Just looking at flights to Austin from the UK at that time. Nothing under £1K !!
The possibility of that or a trip to NY receding rapidly sadly :cry:

Loved the fact you saw BAD 9 times - their first album is one I played relentlessly to my infant son - he still chants "Tax Applied" when I uote "Gotta modify your wheels " lyrics to him ! Brilliant

Tickets aren’t badly priced https://tour.elviscostello.com/#/liveev ... ec-02-2022

I’m told the password is MTFUSA but don’t tell anyone.

It’s also billed as Elvis and the Imposters with different “support acts”.
