The New Basement Tapes w/ Elvis Costello +++

Not sure if they will be touring, would love to hear them at Telluride if so!

The New Basement Tapes is a music event 47 years in the making. It’s an historic album project from five of music’s finest artists — Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops), Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Jim James (My Morning Jacket) and Marcus Mumford (Mumford & Sons) — in unique collaboration with a 26-year-old Bob Dylan. Produced by project creator T Bone Burnett, the album was recorded in March, 2014 at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where the artists and Burnett convened for two weeks to write and create music for a treasure trove of long-lost lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967 during the period that generated the recording of the legendary Basement Tapes.

I just watched the documentary of this "Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued" on Showtime.  Highly recommended  .

A terrific documentary of the creative process, and the ensuing album is even better.  Rhiannon Giddens' voice is pure honey.

Hard to imagine all of artists leaving their bands to do a Basement Tape tour, but it would be one hell of a show if they did! Maybe to make it all work TBF could book Mumford, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Monsters of Folk, and Elvis Costello. 

Really though, I don't think Elvis Costello tours anymore. Thought I read somewhere that he just does the occasional show here and there but he's focusing on being a father.
