In April 2016, Elvis Costello premiered seven songs that seem connected to A Face In The Crowd, the 1957 film written by Budd Schulberg, directed by Elia Kazan, and starring Andy Griffith.

Elvis has spoken about working on three stage musicals, but there is not yet any confirmation that a musical adaptation of A Face In The Crowd is one of them.

Songs

  • Vitajex, premiered April 13 in Jackson, concerns the miracle pill featured in A Face In The Crowd. (Vitajex is also the subject of song in the film, but Elvis' song seems to be an original.)
  • Blood & Hot Sauce, premiered April 13 in Jackson, is about Lonesome Rhodes, the character portrayed by Andy Griffith in the film.
  • American Mirror, premiered April 17 in Bellingham, could be the heroine's song, or for the character played by Walter Matthau in the film.
