Deep Dead Blue
''Deep Dead Blue'' is a live album by Elvis Costello with Bill Frisell recorded at the Meltdown Festival in 1995. Review The Allmusic review by Steve Huey states "It's no real surprise that the two work well together, given the musical affinity demonstrated on Frisell's masterful reinterpretations of ''Painted from Memory'' material on his own album ''The Sweetest Punch''. The pleasures of Deep Dead Blue are, to be sure, much subtler than either of those recordings, but they make an elegant and fascinating supplement".Huey, S.

Aspects of this concept survived to the final album, as four songs previously released by others made it to the final track listing: " The Other End of the Telescope," co-written with Aimee Mann and originally recorded by 'Til Tuesday; "You Bowed Down," reco ...

Elvis Costello Albums
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), or simply Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the " King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy. Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. ...
