Elvis Costello’s latest album, Secret, Profane & Sugarcane, was produced by T Bone Burnett, during a three-day session at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studio. The songs on the album were recorded with a group of some of America’s finest string band players from the world of traditional country music, Bluegrass and beyond.  Joining Costello were Jerry Douglas (dobro), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Mike Compton (mandolin), Jeff Taylor (accordion) and Dennis Crouch (double bass).  The album itself includes ten previously unrecorded songs. “Sulfur to Sugarcane” and “The Crooked Line” were co-written with T Bone Burnett while “I Felt The Chill” marks Costello’s second recorded songwriting collaboration with Loretta Lynn.  Indeed these are the first Costello compositions to be predominantly rooted in acoustic music since his 1986 album, King Of America, Costello and Burnett’s first collaboration after meeting and touring together in 1984. Costello’s career began 5 years earlier when he first recorded in Nashville with George Jones in 1979.  He returned to the city for Almost Blue, his 1981 album of classic country covers and again in 2004 to record a duet rendition of “The Scarlet Tide” with Emmylou Harris.  This song, co-written with T Bone Burnett, went on to receive an Academy Award nomination for Alison Krauss’ rendition in the motion picture, “Cold Mountain” in 2003. “ I’ve crossed the United States a number of times over the last thirty years.  There are towns that I look forward to visiting again…” Costello has said.  “The third city that I played in America was New Orleans…So it doesn’t seem at all strange that I’ve made all or part of five of my albums in the Southern States.”
