Johan Lindström played on For the Stars.

Rosanne Cash tweets that the album will only be available for two weeks. "Maud Gone Wrong" was registered with ASCAP last July. Elvis said in November: "There’s one really good record that I think Rodney Crowell is putting together that must be coming out soon that I contributed to.&q...

It's a Gil Scott-Heron reference and a reversal of EC's previous stance in "Invasion Hit Parade" that the revolution will be televised.

Does Isabelle Adjani know she was namechecked in "Fill in the Blanks"?

RIP Gerry Marsden. I have a live recording of EC singing Ferry Cross the Mersey / Tiny Steps. I am sure Top Balcony or Sulky can tell me which show it was!! EC tweets : "I was saddened by Gerry Marsden’s passing. His voice will always lead the way at Anfield, in times of celebration or lament....

The Tom Waits cover was "Time." There was also a video of EC singing "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" earlier in the show.

All i heard was awful distortion....noise fest!! There's one relatively lengthy passage I think I can make out: "...but to my dismay I can't go on after what you've done There are two words that sound just like pray But I'm not going to tell you which one..." It turns out this song is &qu...

EC's tweets about this song have been cryptic, but "Gentleman, I salute you #petethomas #stevenieve #daveyfaragher #sebastiankrys #theimposters" seems like confirmation that it is an Imposters recording produced (or co-produced) by Sebastian Krys. Another tweet refers to "The Shape Of...

He repeats lines from earlier in the song: I know perfectly well I'm not where I should be I've been very aware you've been patient with me Every time we break up you bring back your love to me I try hard to be more like you want me to be I can't help how I act when you're not here with me I try har...

So we have a French version of "No Flag," and we know a remix of "Hetty O'Hara Confidential" by Tshegue (a Paris-based group that performs in French, English, and Lingala) is on the way . Will there be a French version of Hey Clockface to accompany the Spanish version of This Yea...

He also shared a recording he made of Hetty O'Hara Confidential - an "outtake" from Le Studio Saint Germain sessions. It was a vocal recorded on an aircraft in flight, and played back on a portable speaker, so the quality was not great. It may reappear on a box set, 40 years hence, if not...

Aimee Mann on the Music That Made Her Elvis Costello & the Attractions: “Girls Talk” I had taken a trip to London with my boyfriend when I was in ’Til Tuesday, and “Voices Carry” was on the radio when we passed Elvis Costello and his wife on the street. My boyfriend said, “We just passed Elvis,...
