'''Elvis Costello and New Orleans R&B legend Allen Toussaint discuss their life-affirming collaboration | |||
{{Bibliography text}} | {{Bibliography text}} | ||
Elvis Costello is rock's renaissance man. Along with writing and recording his own songs — some of the wittiest and most acerbic in the pop catalogue, Costello has produced a number of Britain's best bands, including The Pogues, The Specials and Squeeze. The husband of Diana Krall has also become something of a pop commentator, penning liner notes for CD reissues and acting as a contributor to ''Vanity Fair''. A future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer himself, Costello has collaborated with some of pop's biggest heavyweights, including Paul McCartney and Burt Bacharach. His latest partner is Allen Toussaint, the legendary New Orleans artist, best known for writing numerous R&B hits and producing The Meters, Dr John, Little Feat and Paul Simon, among many others. Costello and Toussaint paired up to create ''The River in Reverse'', a mix of Toussaint originals and six new songs written by the boys. It's a brilliant album that promises to put the spotlight back on Toussaint and New Orleans, as the city recovers from last year's Katrina disaster. ''Inside E'' spoke with Costello and Toussaint, as they prepared to hit the road, about the Big Easy and the making of this life-affirming project. | Elvis Costello is rock's renaissance man.
