rock like bareknuckle boxers
Uncut reviews the Live In Memphis DVD -
After recording The Delivery Man in Mississippi, Costello and his Imposters (the Attractions but with Davey Faragher on bass) headed for Memphis Hi-Tone Café to record this live set. They rock like bareknuckle boxers through Delivery Man songs and a sprinkling of hits— “Radio Radio”, “High Fidelity” and “Alison”. Emmylou Harris duets with Costello on some tracks, sounding like they’ve been doing it for decades.
