New Elvis album North

Written by Al Barger
Published June 26, 2003

New details are out on the upcoming new Elvis Costello album. From Billboard:

Elvis Costello has dubbed his upcoming album "North." Due Sept. 23 via Deutsche Grammophon, the album is comprised solely of ballads.

"The record begins with a song called 'You Left Me In the Dark' and ends with a track called 'I'm In the Mood Again,'" Costello explains in a statement. "You have to listen to what goes on in between to find out why."

As previously reported, the collection will feature instrumentation ranging from a solo piano to an enormous ensemble.

Three months seems like a long time to wait, but in the meantime we can console ourselves with the 2002 album of the year, When I Was Cruel.

If I may briefly indulge a spot of fan enthusiasm,

ELVIS IS KING!

Thank you for your support.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.

Great news, thanks Al! It also features jazz great Peter Erskine, whose very presence raises the stakes for this album. Could it be a real jazz album from Elvis?! Has Diana Krall rubbed off on him so quickly? Sounds promising, either way.
