Elvis Costello Glad to Finally Release a Country Album

Elvis Costello's new album, due out June 2, was produced by T. Bone Burnett (Oh Brother Where Are Thou among others), and has a decidedly Country flavour. 
Costello worked with Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris and Dobro player Jerry Douglas on the release, among other well-known Nashville artists and musicians.
According to GAC, Elvis commented, "We always had mix tapes, compilations of songs I was listening to," he told Paste. "My manager would say, 'Don't put those George Jones songs on, in case one of those journalists gets on the tour bus.' To hand [a member of the press] something that suggested I was into an entirely other kind of music than what I was playing would have been foolish."
