''The Delivery Man'' is the 21st studio album by Elvis Costello, released on Lost Highway Records, B0002593-02. It was recorded with the Imposters at Sweet Tea Studio in Oxford, Mississippi. It peaked at No. 40 on the ''Billboard'' 200. ==Content== The album had its genesis in a conceptual story apparently written for Johnny Cash. Costello himself states: :''The Delivery Man'' started out as a story about the impact on three woman’s lives of a man with a hidden past. The story took the song "Hidden Shame" as its unsung prelude. Parts of the narrative ended up being displaced from the final album by more urgent songs taken from the news headlines. One of the songs moved aside was to find an ideal home on Secret, Profane & Sugarcane.〔(Costello at Concord Music Group website, retrieved 29 August 2010. )〕 The album features guest vocals by Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris. "Monkey to Man" derived from a 1950s rhythm and blues hit "The Monkey" by Dave Bartholomew, and a song written by Costello and his then-wife Cait O'Riordan, "The Judgement," had been previously recorded by Solomon Burke on his 2002 release ''Don't Give Up on Me''. The vinyl and United Kingdom compact disc pressings of the album included an additional track, "She's Pulling Out the Pin." The album was issued the same day as ''Il Sogno''. Shortly after its release, Lost Highway issued a deluxe edition of the album, including a bonus disc containing seven tracks from the ''Clarksdale Sessions'' ten-inch vinyl record, a collection of songs recorded live at Delta Recording in Clarksdale, Mississippi. ''The Clarksdale Sessions'', subtitled "Delivery Man Companion," contained new versions of tracks from the proper album as well as an unreleased Costello original "In Another Room," and covers of the Bartholomew original "The Monkey" and "Dark End of the Street." Tom Waits has named it one of his favourite albums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Delivery Man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
