Elvis Costello, Presented in Big-Wheel Fashionnew
Elvis Costello never followed the traditional trajectory of normal pop stars. As a showman, he's a unique class act. Song-wise, his eclectic library of work is massive. And that's what is exciting about this week's concert at the PAC.

Elvis Costello Sings the Same Old Songnew
With three recent Grammy nominations and a highly anticipated U.S. tour underway, Costello is finding himself in the unique situation of being both one of new wave's elder statesmen and a surprisingly hot contemporary artist.
Despite his newly restored credibility, there are some who see Costello's practice of massive reissues and rapid repackaging of new material as a shameless money grab.

Costello Deliversnew
The Delivery Man is Costello's first album for Lost Highway and his first with the Imposters. He's joined by two first-time guests: Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. But as with all his releases, the real power resides not in novelty but in the songwriting.
