Elvis Costello - Sulphur to Sugarcane

ok, so this song has a touch of country in it, but in a very endearing way. Jules and I first heard this song when we saw Deckland McMannis at Summerfest this year, and the live version of this song was absolutely incredible which made me seek out this version. This one is still great, but doesn't hold a candle to that live version; but of course, great artists can do that, they can suck you in by referencing your town in their songs. So I fell for it. But it really was great. The song itself is perhaps a little long, but it's a lot of fun to sing along to; kind of a tour-du-sin and who knows how much of it is true, eh? Maybe Elvis is a player. "None of them as wild as I discovered in Columbus"
