Elvis Costello goes country again and teams up with producer T-Bone Burnett again on this ballad-heavy set of tunes. It includes a couple of Costello oldies, a cover of the old waltz "[[Changing Partners]]" and a handful of tunes originally written for an opera about Hans Christian Andersen (really). | |||
Those songs share a basic lament that pervades the record, which is oh-so-tastefully played by a lineup of bluegrass luminaries that will tour with Costello this year. Costello's really become an effective crooner, and he gets good harmony support from [[Jim Lauderdale]] across the record and [[Emmylou Harris]] on "[[The Crooked Line]]." | Those songs share a basic lament that pervades the record, which is oh-so-tastefully played by a lineup of bluegrass luminaries that will tour with Costello this year.

There are some excellent songs here, most notably "[[I Felt The Chill|I Felt the Chill]]," co-written with Loretta Lynn. But "[[Hidden Shame]]" is the only true uptempo tune, and the old-timey New Orleans-inflected title cut is the only song that shows off Costello's sense of humor. So the album is a rather sedate affair. But it's very well done | There are some excellent songs here, most notably "[[I Felt The Chill|I Felt the Chill]]," co-written with Loretta Lynn.
