ELVIS COSTELLO "married to my hack"
new singles from Elvis 'evergreen' Costello here...
its one of those new ones he recorded from old Bob Dylan
lyrics given to him from Dylan via T-Bone and comes from the soon
to be released "lost on the river-the new basement tapes" album
featuring Mumford & Sons and Jim James(my morning jacket)...
this is a good entree IMO...mouth is watering here, and i cant
wait to hear the entire project, should be good stuff if this one
is anything to go by, and oh yeh...as usual, Costello never lets me down!

He really is a great lyricist, and I like that he consistently seems to change things up while also retaining whatever it is that makes him "Elvis Costello." Though I do have to wonder how Diana Krall feels about being call his "hack"? Then again, if he says he'd rather stay married to her, I guess it doesn't much matter, now does it? *laughs*
Everyone has an Angel: a Guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day, old man. Next day, little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they're not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from our heart. Reminding that it's us: it's everyone of us who holds power over the world we create. -Sweet Pea

This and the rest of the album is supposed to be Dylan lyrics, although I too wondered about how Diana would feel about his choice of songs to play

Krall would understand it being a muso herself...i mean, who wouldnt want to record Dylan lyrics?
Mag...
loved your.... and I like that he consistently seems to change things up while also retaining whatever it is that makes him "Elvis Costello."
Elvis is constantly shifting,chopping and changing his styles...but doesnt really go too far away from his trademark styles to not be called "a non elvis album", unlike Neil Young...remember "le noise","trans","are you passionate",Shocking Pinks etc etc...

I love the puppy stuffin's outta this song. Wondered about the word "hack" for "wife" and couldn't find anything similar. Maybe because said woman had access and knowledge of knives in the kitchen? Get max attitude about the husband and...hack away? We need Mr. Costello in this age and he apparently finds us useful.
