GP's Song of the Day: Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello is currently in a country music mood, which probably infuriates many of his old fans but pleases me no end.
His current album Sacred, Profane and Sugarcane is a bit of a mixed bag, but it's still got some cracking tunes and The Crooked Line - co-written with long-time collaborator T-Bone Burnett, and with Emmylou Harris on backing vocals - is great.
According to Costello: " 'The Crooked Line' is a song longing for constancy. It's the only song I've ever written about fidelity that is without any irony."
