ELVIS COSTELLO...new album! - CRAZY-HORSE - 23-08-2014
i read in todays 'entertainment' section of the paper an interview with Elvis which said he was releasing an album in November of this year...
that makes it his 31st studio album since 1977 if memory serves me correct...
album details:
album is a collection of Bob Dylan lyrics from the late 1960s-early 1970s...
how it came about:
Bob Dylan handed over the lyrics to 55 un-recorded songs to his friend T-Bone Burnett late last year, according to Elvis the handover went something like this
Dylan.......i thought you might like these to do something with them T-Bone,theyre no good to me...
T-Bone.....yeh i can use them, i'll ask Elvis if he wants to collaborate on them with me...
Dylan.......thats who i was thinking of but i didnt want to give you any ideas....
T-Bone.....dont worry, we'll give them the justice they deserve....
so anyway,
Elvis took them on earlier this year and spent a week putting music to them with T-Bone and recorded all 55 tracks in three days.
twenty of those tracks will be released on record this november.
no album title has been decided upon as yet, but Costello has hinted that either "lost on the river" or "the new bootleg volume I" will probably be the title...!
the songs were recorded at "big pink" studios, the one that was used by Dylan & The Band on their collaborations...

so yet again we see Costello changing tact and doing something completely unexpected, showing us all once again that he is the consumate proffessional musician!

It's a "various Artists" release - I copied this from Amazon
"Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes is a music event 47 years in the making. It's an historic album project from five of music's finest artists -- Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops), Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Jim James (My Morning Jacket) and Marcus Mumford (Mumford & Sons) -- in unique collaboration with a 26-year-old Bob Dylan. Produced by project creator T Bone Burnett, the album was recorded in March, 2014 at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where the artists and Burnett convened for two weeks to write and create music for a treasure trove of long-lost lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967 during the period that generated the recording of the legendary Basement Tapes. The collective completed and recorded dozens of songs, the first 20 of which appear on this deluxe edition."
