Elvis Costello Everywhere In 2006

When Elvis sightings skyrocket in 2006, Mr. Costello’s prolific recording and touring schedule will be to blame. Costello will be releasing not one, but two new albums this year. The first, set to hit the streets Feb. 28, is concert album My Flame Burns Blue. This Deutsche Grammophon release will include a bonus 45-minute suite from Costello’s first orchestral work. The second album, The River in Reverse, is a Verve Forecast collaboration with Allen Toussaint, fruit of the first major sessions to take place in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans.
