Elvis Costello to Perform at Oscars
NEW YORK - Elvis Costello isn't too hip to perform at the Oscars.
Costello is nominated for his song "Scarlet Tide," from the film "Cold
Mountain." He will play while Alison Krauss and the Sacred Harp Singers
perform.
Costello's dizzying 25-year career has included rock and country, soul
and pop, punk and classical and jazz. He's responsible for songs like
"Alison" and "Red Shoes."
"I'm delighted to be there and delighted to be a part of it," he told
AP Radio recently. "Some part of you hopes a song endures and has a life
beyond the way it sits in the film, I know I'll sing it for the rest of
my days."
