Elvis Costello
The return of Napoleon Dynamite
Adam Gold
When it comes to recasting musical idioms in his own golden-voiced, bespectacled image, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Elvis Costello — the Quentin Tarantino of erudite pop — has worn many hats. Nervy New Waver. Country Crooner. Allen Toussaint and Burt Bacharach foil. R&B belter. Classical composer. The list goes on. And over the course of his eclectic career, the Nashville-loving icon has often taken his various incarnations and endeavors to the Ryman stage — it's one of his all-time favorite venues. His rock spectacles with loyal backing band The Imposters are the stuff of legend, as are his various one-man solo appearances and country collaborations at the Mother Church. Old school 'Villians are still talking about a 1996 stop with The Fairfield Four 20 years after the fact. Tonight he's backed by The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, so expect another master class for the Music City history books.
