Southern Delivery
Those in the know report the following about the upcoming Elvis Costello & The Imposters LP:
It will be out on The Lost Highway label, and called either 'The Delivery Man' or 'South' or 'Stop Me Before I Polka'.
It contains the following tracks (probably not in this order):
1. The Delivery Man
2. Country Darkness
3. Monkey To Man
4. Bedlam
5. Heart Shaped Bruise (w/Emmylou Harris)
6. Button My Lip
7. Needle Time
8. Nothing Clings Like Ivy
9. The Name of This This Is Not Love
10. There's A Story In Your Voice (w/ Lucinda Williams)
11. Either Side of The Same Town
12. The Judgement
13. The Scarlet Tide (w/Emmylou Harris)
Which means the Lincoln Center show on 7/15 included the entire album. At 13 tracks, this is shorter than his other "rock" albums of recent years, but comparable to his more ballad-heavy albums.
This leaves six potential outtakes that may show up as international bonus tracks or b-sides:
1. In Another Room
2. Suspect Your Tears
3. I'll Watch Out For You
4. Unwanted Number
5. Burnt Sugar (is so Bitter)
6. She's Pulling Out The Pin
