The Delivery Man

Post by notesrecliner »

Elvis Costello's song "The Delivery Man" feels like the beginning of a great crime story, exploring the dynamics of a small town in the American South and the introduction of a mysterious stranger. Check out the latest from Recliner Notes:

Another great essay.

Wildly expansive list of Dylan songs on your website too.

Much appreciated, thanks very much for sharing these.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! For Dylan's 80th year, I did posts for 80 of his songs. I won't do that many for Elvis, though.

...and there are obviously n million you omitted from that list, his genius (particularly up to 1976 in my controversial view) is unsurpassed (queue more controversy).

I loved that EC curated the jukebox at the new Bob museum.

And that Dylan will be writing about Elvis in his new upcoming book! See my other thread on that topic.

One of the best (and most underrated) EC albums IMO.

Great post! I haven't dived into TDM or much of the mid to late 2000's EC stuff, so this was an educational treat.
