Show Notes
As well as being a brilliant and prolific songwriter, Elvis Costello is a master of interpreting songs written by other people. In this bonus episode of the podcast, we put aside our playlists and the usual format to focus on some of the great Costello covers. To do that, I’m delighted to welcome back to the show a director, podcaster and radio host: Theo Delaney. Theo and I each pick five EC cover versions to chat about. Let me know what you think of the performances we discuss in this episode and get in touch on Twitter to share your favourite Costello covers.
