Like so many other arch British singers and composers have Elvis Costello American music blood in their veins. That's the truth. From The Beatles to The Jam. from The Who to The Clash. America has supplied the roots. as artists have reformulated into a personal language with a local accent. | |||
In ''The Delivery Man'' turns Elvis Costello really back to this musical foundation. Gone are any hints of opera, easy listening. jazz, etc.. which has taken him in recent years. Replaced by 13 raw and cool rock songs with a strong connection to the Confederate blues, country and soul. The game both sensitively and muscular The Impostors including Pete Thomas and Steve Nieve of The Attractions on drums and piano. | |||
Sonically the album is pointing back to Elvis Costello in my ears finest moments country album ''Almost Blue'' (1981), Americana bead ''King Of America'' and the naked. nosebleed - inducing ''Blood & Chocolate'' (both 1986). Three album where the songs had soul. and Elvis Costello lyrics beautifully balanced between love songs and cynical punched. | |||
Interpreter itself | |||
Elvis Costello plays the guitar on the album. and he does so with rarely heard energy. Recent plates beautification is replaced by a direct attitude that makes the fast rock songs to really shine. | |||
The best is however ballads. Elvis Costello include kind enough to give his own interpretation of a few songs he has written some of his models. This is the dramatic "The Judgement" that he and ex-wife Cait O'Riordan delivered to soul mountain Solomon Burke and especially Either Side Of The Town by Elvis Costello composed with Jerry Ragovoy to cult singer Howard Tate's comeback record in 2003. | |||
In The Delivery Man is particularly the latter a peak in classic soul cuts and with a chorus that pushes Elvis Costello to perform at his peak as a singer. | |||
As for raising the album are also two pure. pedal steel - of colored country ballads. "Heart Shaped Bruise" and "The Scarlet Tide." Elvis Costello thinks he's Gram Parsons and has been persuaded Emmylou Harris to sing duet vocals. It is brilliant in all its old-fashioned Nashville simplicity. | |||
Also Lucinda Williams shows up and gives it stubbornly rocking "There's A Story In Your Voice" a shot of her needle-sharp voice, and in this way helps all the powerful American music traditions once again the English man of the world to find the melody. | |||
