Costello and the Imposters (drummer
Pete Thomas; keyboardist Steve Nieve;
and bassist Davey Farragher) recorded most
of 'The Delivery Man' in April 2004 at
Sweet Tea Studios in Oxford, MS. The
sessions were produced by Dennis
Herring and Costello. One cut, "Monkey
to Man," which Costello has said is a
sequel to New Orleans songwriter Dave
Bartholomew's 1954 single "The Monkey,"
was recorded during a day trip to the
to the nearby Delta town of Clarksdale,
MS and will be the first single and video

Several songs are written in the
voices of characters found in the
narrative of the title track. These
include guest vocal appearances by
Lucinda Williams on "There's a Story in
Your Voice" and Emmylou Harris on
"Nothing Clings Like Ivy" and "Heart
Shaped Bruise." The album also contains a
ukulele-accompanied duet with Harris on
the Oscar-nominated "The Scarlet Tide,"
which Alison Krauss recorded for the
'Cold Mountain' soundtrack. 'The
Delivery Man' features the pedal steel
guitar playing of John McFee, who
appeared on Costello's first album 'My
Aim is True' and also on the 1981,
Nashville-recorded 'Almost Blue.'
