New Releases Tomorrow
The Buffalo News lets us know about at least four maybe five new CDs worth knowing about: (small picture of EC in article)
* THE BANGLES, "Doll Revolution" (Koch). The band's comeback album, released overseas earlier this year, boasts a cover of Elvis Costello's "Cut Off Your Own Head (It's a Doll Revolution)."
* ELVIS COSTELLO, "North" (Deutsche Grammophon). Strings galore will dress up this romantic song-cycle from Costello, who is joined by drummer Peter Erskine, Attractions pianist Steve Nieve and members of the Jazz Passengers.
* STEVE EARLE, "Just an American Boy" (Artemis). A twin-disc live effort from the angry American, matched by a tour documentary of the same name, to be issued by Artemis in October.
This week also sees new releases from Emmylou Harris, Joe Henry, Living Colour, Dave Matthews (solo), the Mavericks, Mojave 3, the String Cheese Incident, Rufus Wainwright and Billy Bob Thornton.
