{"product_id":"the-delivery-man","title":"The Delivery Man","description":"With The Delivery Man--Elvis Costello and the Imposters' first release for Lost Highway--one of modern music's most admired and prolific talents has delivered a remarkable album that draws on deep American musical roots more than any of his releases since King of America in 1986. It is a collection that ranges from the ferocious, bass-driven opening track, \"Button My Lip,\" which speaks in the voice of a desperate man on the verge of committing a terrible crime, to a tender and timely closing rendition of \"The Scarlet Tide,\" referred to by Costellos co-composer and fellow Oscar nominee T-Bone Burnett as an \"anti-fear song.\"\nLike a lot of great things in music history, The Delivery Man can be said to have started with the late great Johnny Cash. \"The Delivery Man is actually a character imported from a song I wrote in 1986 for Johnny Cash,\" Costello explains. \"He's based on a real character. I read this story in the paper about a man who confessed to murdering his childhood friend thirty years later, having been in prison for a number of other things. I thought this story was very interesting because he'd carried this burden of guilt of this childhood crime.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0002VEPL2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0002VEPL2.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Elvis Costello \u0026amp; Imposters\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
