Rehearsal with Shannon McGill Vasile
February 10, 2020
Rehearsal recording Zoom H4n

Jon says, "The one time I actually met Elvis Costello, I totally froze up. Seated beside him for about 20 minutes, I didn’t say a word. And most of you know that I am seldom at a loss in that regard. I wish I’d been able to tell him how much not only his music means to me but also all of the stuff he introduced me to. Most people probably know “Do Right Woman”, written by Dan Penn, from Aretha Franklin’s peerless version on her I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You lp but I indirectly came to it via Elvis Costello’s 1981 release, Almost Blue, where EC took a break from his own songwriting to cover some of his favorite honky tonk sides. This was the first I’d ever heard of Gram Parsons or the Flying Burrito Bros (Gram’s post-Byrds combo with Chris Hillman) which led me to tracking down the Burrito’s Gilded Palace of Sin album (not an easy task in the 80s!) and discovering their beautiful country-soul take on “Do Right.” John Train’s version is pretty much lifted from this version. Thank you, Gram. Thank you, EC."
