Costello covering 'Honeycomb' would have sat brilliantly on 'All This Useless Beauty', in a 'Little Atoms' kind of way. FB covering 'I Want You' would probably give me a heart attack. I'm loving these suggestions. Cool if one of them picked up on it.

'Sulphur to Sugarcane', a track from his new acoustic album, "Secret, Profane & Sugarcane"

'it's nice to hear elvis getting a little ornery again', reads one of the comments. I agree.

Never listened to too much EC...just offered free tickets to his concert in a week. Based on whatever I've heard over the years, best not to pass up something like that...right?
I'd rather be anywhere or doing anything |

Yep. That the tickets were free will be no consolation. Funny thing about Elvis, seems he's very easy to dislike. Another funny thing. Most of my women friends like him. Most of my male friends not. Maybe he encourages envy!
This sassier version's a lot more fun

| Yeah, same here. I guess it's the things that people really love about him (his voice, his delivery, his wordplay, for a start) that can really rile some people! |

| Another artist I never paid any attention to except when he came on the radio. ( I'm embarrassed to say) I've heard Oliver's Army. There is something in his voice that doesn't do it for me and that's the second silly thing i've said in this post so i'm gonna shut up now. |

I wouldn't pass this up. We won tix to Elvis about 10 years ago and the show ended up being one of the most memorable we've seen (second only to Leonard Cohen). It was a smallish venue (2,000 seats, maybe), and toward the end, he put down his guitar, turned off the mic, stepped to the very front of the stage, and sang one or two songs a capella. That's when I realized he has one of the strongest, most pure voices around. Just stunning.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

I've only just recently started playing Elv again (a mix of acoustic demos and youtube rips). I've found the recent stuff a bit spotty. One of my favorite recent songs is off Secret, Profane... (check the links above) the album's great if you like rootsy Elvis. But by and large I'm not really playing the recent albums much. Momofuku harks back to eighties Elvis and Delivery Man nineties Elvis so they might be worth a go. The most recent poppy Elvis album I still enjoy start to finish is When I Was Cruel.

what's this 4 disc King of America?! i was excited about the demos on the KoA reissue because they included Are You Happy Now?, which is one of my favorites, but the demo was sort of boring.

I just wanted to throw out another EC song that's worth looking for:
"I Throw My Toys Around" It was recorded with No Doubt; you can find it on their B-sides collection and it was made for a Rugrats movie.
