No-one seemed terribly sure why Elvis Costello decided to play just one date in support of his vibrant new album ''The Delivery Man'', but his Scottish fans were delighted he had selected Barrowland as the location, even if a couple of hundred extra devotees could have been accommodated round the sidelines and at the back of the hall. | |||
The new songs were mostly convincing. Current single "[[Monkey To Man]]" was dispatched with rootsy swagger, "[[Country Darkness]]" was suitably yearning, and "[[Either Side Of The Same Town]]" was simply as great as anything Costello has performed in his career.
