“She lit up the club"
Elvis tells the New York Metro about Emmylou Harris -
"We’ve sung together on about four or five occasions I think now,” Costello tells me as we discuss the upcoming SummerStage show. He describes the scene last September when she joined him onstage in Memphis. “She lit up the club. When you’re in a hot, crowded club, the last thing you expect is that what the people are going to want to do is listen to a bunch of ballads, two or three of which weren’t even written by either of the artists on the stage. But you know, it’s absolutely magical how she completely changed the atmosphere.” Her singing, he says, has “some sort of persuasive power.”
