Elvis Costello’s National Ransom is hitting the shelves on October 25 and in accordance with his latest stand, Elvis brings along an impressive amalgamation of super-players including T-Bone Burnett as a producer. The Flick-A-Tron feature on his website along with the use of technology is most thoughtful and a pleasure to see yet alone timely (http://www.elviscostello.com). Why does it have to be so difficult and such a drawn-out, laborious process here on LW.com in terms of actually hearing/seeing what is going on with the new record and smattering of shows? Although I appreciate the occasional posting, TO, I can’t help but wonder…
Mr. Costello is profiled by Nick Paumgarten in the November 8 issue of The New Yorker. Lots of words.
Elvis is coming to Cincinnati. Interesting show description. Anyone caught this show?
Elvis Costello and the Imposters have announced “The Revolver Tour” during the merry month of May. The tour makes its way to Cincinnati, OH at the Taft Theatre on May 16.
For the first time in 25 years, Costello will let his set-list be chosen by ”The Spectacular Spinning Songbook”, a monumental game-show wheel that features 40 song-titles, including hits, rarities and very unexpected covers.
Audience members will be invited onstage where they may spin “The Wheel” and then be offered a chance to enter the “Hostage to Fortune Go-Go Cage”, while their selection is performed.
Alternatively, they may choose to take a seat in the on-stage “Society Lounge”, where light refreshments will be served, during what promises to be a splendid and surprising evening.
The original Wheel was famously donated to the Hartlepool Museum Of Showbusiness Machinery but it has been meticulously reconstructed from the original blueprints.
The Imposters are: Steve Nieve (keyboards); Pete Thomas (drums) and Davey Faragher (bass).
