 | | | Elvis Costello - The Delivery Man | | Elvis Costello & The Imposters new release The Delivery Man in stores 9/20 internationally, 9/21 U.S. featuring the single "Monkey To Man." The Delivery Man was recorded in Oxford, MS and produced by Dennis Herring and Elvis Costello. Jon Pareles of The New York Times describes the album as: "...the album steeped in Southern Americana: the gospel-rooted grooves of Memphis soul, touches of pedal steal guitar, Southern-rooted guest singers including Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams and the storytelling that Southern soul shares with country music." On these same dates, Elvis is also releasing his first full-length orchestral work, Il Sogno. The International version of The Delivery Man features 1 additional bonus track "She's Pulling Out The Pin." The Japanese release includes the same bonus track, plus another, "The Monkey." Both of these tracks will be available in the U.S on The Delivery Man Double 180 Gram LP. | | | Elvis Costello - Il Sogno in stores 9/21 | | Elvis Costello makes his debut as a classical composer with the release of Il Sogno ("The Dream"), an original ballet composition based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, with acclaimed conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and the London Symphony Orchestra. Blending elements of impressionistic classical style with a bit of jazz, Il Sogno is a colorful and delightful work that reflects Costello's diverse influences and marks the entry of a new voice in classical music. "Costello has channeled his thematic material into simple, formal structures that he uses in the disciplined manner of a bona fide classical composer." - The Washington Post | | | Concert and Television Appearances | | Elvis will be playing 2 album release shows for The Delivery Man in Memphis, TN on 9/17 at the Hi Tone Caf'e, for tickets and information, visit www.hitonememphis.com Elvis Costello & The Imposters will be playing the Austin City Limits Festival on September 19th.
