ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS "the delivery man" cd, 2004
his twenty-fourth studio album
first time posting on MD...
i didnt know where to post this, alternative, rock or country...
i decides country because at least half the album could be deemed 'alternative country' or 'country-esque' in nature...
fourteen tracks, three are duets with Emmy-Lou and one, a duet with Lucinda Williams...
T-Bone Burnette co-wrote one track and theres a couple of covers which include:
Dave Bartholomew's "the monkey" and James Carr's "the dark end of the street", both of which are excellent, which helps when youre not familiar with the originals.
Tom Waits actually rates this as one of favourite albums of all time, fans are generally divided about this album but i love it...
album would score 2.4 if i could be bothered posting scores for each track...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
one of the Emmy-Lou duets:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
