Nashville and More

A dusty collection of country standards and twangy reinterpretations. Elvis Costello trades his new wave snarl for a Nashville croon and a weeping pedal steel.

It's Elvis Costello playing the country singer he was always meant to be in a smoky Nashville bar.

A weary, dust-covered reverence for country traditions mixed with a songwriter's sharp eye for heartbreak.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The haunting transition from the lonesome Blues Keep Calling into the rhythmic chug of Cry Cry Cry.

The raw, unpolished energy of the Flip City demos where the punk snarl meets country storytelling.

The way the pedal steel weeps behind the vocal on the country version of Tears Before Bedtime.
