Limited 10th Anniversary Edition Clear Vinyl!
The Delivery Man, which was recorded with backing band The Imposters, is the 21st studio album by Elvis Costello. The music was recorded at Sweet Tea Studio in Oxford, MS and produced by Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Counting Crows, Buddy Guy & Cracker) and Elvis Costello. The album features guest vocals by Lucinda Williams and EmmyLou Harris.
Elvis Costello has followed his musical curiosity in a career spanning more than 30 years. He is perhaps best known for his performances with The Attractions, The Imposters and for concert appearances with pianist Steve Nieve. However, he has also entered into acclaimed collaborations with Burt Bacharach, The Brodsky Quartet, Paul McCartney, Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, guitarist Bill Frisell, composer Roy Nathanson, The Charles Mingus Orchestra, record producer and songwriter T Bone Burnett and Allen Toussaint.
"...the album is steeped in Southern Americana: the gospel-rooted grooves of Memphis soul, touches of pedal steel guitar, Southern-rooted guest singers including EmmyLou Harris and Lucinda Williams and the storytelling that Southern soul shares with country music." - Jon Pareles of the New York Times
"...what really makes The Delivery Man work is that it just plain sounds good. It's the first album that he's recorded in its entirety with his road band the Imposters, and they give this music serious muscle, but it also helps that the production by Costello and Dennis Herring stays out of the way -- it's simple, direct, and unadorned, letting the performances shine through." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic.com
