Elvis Meets Jimmy Nelson At the close of nearly every show on his ongoing world tour, Elvis Costello has been playing local bluesman Jimmy "T-99" Nelson's "I'm Gonna Miss Show Business." So author and Press contributor Roger Wood thought it would be cool if Nelson and Costello could meet while he was in town, and the summit was arranged. The two hit it off famously -- they talked for about half an hour and even sang an impromptu duet backstage at the Verizon. Costello is an ardent fan of Houston blues; he's called Bobby "Blue" Bland's Two Steps From the Blues the greatest album of all time, and gushed about it last year in the hoity-toity pages of Vanity Fair....

New EC Tribute CD Nov. 1 New EC Tribute CD Nov. 1 is the Austin release date for Almost You: The Songs of Elvis Costello, a collection of national and local bands covering E's songs. Other albums have culled previously recorded Costello covers, but the makers of Almost You say this is the first Elvis tribute made from scratch. Contributors include Vic Chesnutt dueting with Jack Logan, Fastball, Hem, the Posies' Jonathan Auer, the Damnations, Kevin Russell, and Grand Champeen. Tracks were recorded exclusively for the project over the past two years in New York, Philadelphia, Athens, Ga., Oxford, Mass., Seattle, Dallas, and of course, Austin. To kick off the project here in town, there'll be a Costello tribute show at the Mercury Nov. 1 (lineup TBA). The album will be released nationally Jan. 21 on local indie Glurp with distribution assistance from Bar None, with a limited number of CDs available in Austin until then at the release party, Waterloo Records, and via www.glurp.com.
