I just saw this video of Richard Thompson doing "The Weight" with Levon Helm, Elvis Costello, Ray LaMontagne, Allen Toussaint Nick Lowe, and then fell into a rabbit hole. Apparently Elvis Costello did a whole series of these shows with various guests and I had no idea this stuff existing. Anyone here know more about this?
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
You mean these???
Excellent series. I saw most of season one when it originally aired back in 2008 (the network escapes me). Even artists I didn't care about so much were beyond interesting in the context of this program. Highly recommend that you search out these boxes.
Oh yea, I think I've seen, if not all of them, at least most of them.
