Does anyone know who is in Elvis Costellos back-up band?  Are they known Bluegrassers or lesser-known folk?

Elvis Costello's stellar acoustic band, The Sugarcanes, is going to include: Jim Lauderdale, Jerry Douglas, Mike Compton, Stuart Duncan, Dennis Crouch, and Jeff Taylor. 

Hold on to your hats...this set is gonna be out of control.. :)

Definately, Elvis Costello by himself would be amazing, but when you add the rest of them in there, this set will be nothing less then legendary

WOW! Now that does sound good! I wonder who might join them onstage, cuz you know there will be SOMEBODY backstage who's been working up a song or two with 'em. Wink Wink
Tapers be ready; this one will definitely be in demand.
