best music news came in

best!  because elvis costello is my favorite artist and tied for my favorite albums of his is King of America, the one made with T-Bone Burnett.

best because it's got another song with the lovely Emmylou Harris

best! because my favorite elvis costello songs are the ballads and this one's "all acoustic."

full details and tons of errors are on billboard.  FULL OF ERRORS ERROR SENTENCE HERE:

"...two of the album's tracks -- 'Hidden Same' and 'Boom Chicka Boom -- were originally written by Costello for Johnny Cash."

Here are my corrections:

-the first song is called "Hidden Shame."

-the other song is called "Complicated Shadows."  the Johnny Cash ALBUM was called Boom Chicka Boom.

-there should be an end quote there after Boom Chicka Boom.

but anyway, this is exciting.  EC has re-recorded those two songs already on All This Useless Beauty (and its corresponding bonus tracks) and his versions are awesome.  Cash never recorded Complicated Shadows.  I wish he had, it is a dark song.

Yeah the album is called Secret, Profane & Sugarcane (if billboard is to be trusted!!) and it's supposedly his return to American roots music.  We haven't heard that from him since his last album!  Or maybe The Delivery Man.  

Also the vinyl has two bonus tracks because elvis costello is AWESOME THAT WAY.  One is a song you may have heard if you watched his show Spectacle with Lou Reed...a cover of "Femme Fatale."

album out june 2 on hear music (starbucks? what happened to lost highway?) and then some tour dates with The Sugarcanes (EC's band for this album featuring some bluegrass & traditional country musicians)

you might not understand but this album sounds like a DREAM to me.

oh, here's a better source.  an official source.  obviously the source billboard took from and copied and pasted from.  man, billboard sucks.  SOURCE.
