The Delivery Man
Elvis Costello's The Delivery Man is a mixed-up mishmash of genres and
tempos, with some great songs along the way. It starts dubiously, with the
freestyle, jazzy ‘Button My Lip' but quickly recovers with the fantastic
Lucinda Williams duet 'There's A Story In Your Voice'. Emmylou Harris makes
several appearances, none of them as good as Williams's and The Delivery
Man can be a bit Jools Holland at times, but songs like 'Heart Shaped Bruise'
and 'She's Pulling Out The Pin' are classic Costello.
