Elvis is back

Costello that is. He has a new album which apparently has a country feel to it. There are a couple of track samples embedded in the article so you can get a feel for his new sound.

I recently heard him interviewed on NPR as part of his promo tour for the album. The interviewer asked him what he would say to the parents of a child who said he/she wanted to go into music as a career. Elvis replied that one should look at the underlying motivation. His point, if the child is saying it because he/she loves music then that is a good starting point, but if they are saying it because they are pursuing fame then that is another thing entirely.
