Awesome. Again, wish I could make it to this. Costello hasn't put out a bad album in years, and his last four or five have been particularly excellent. When I Was Cruel is mindbogglingly good.

Really looking forward to the new album.

For those that don't know, his band for most of his 2009 dates (dubbed The Sugarcanes) has some heavy hitters:

* Jim Lauderdale - guitar, vocals

* Jerry Douglas - dobro

* Mike Compton - mandolin

* Stuart Duncan - fiddle, banjo

* Dennis Crouch - bass

* Jeff Taylor - accordion

He's apparently playing solo at Bonnaroo on the Saturday, and the Tuesday after Bonnaroo at the Ryman with The Sugarcanes, considering sticking around down there for that...

For the Canadian fans, looks like Toronto is all that has been confirmed so far, with the routing going away from Canada right after. Hopefully at least a Montreal show is added.
