An Early Clue to the New Direction

From the Letterman Show (not sure exactly when), here's Elvis Costello and the divine Emmylous Harris with a lovely version of the Everly Brothers' oft-covered 1960 classic "Love Hurts."



A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the reader who first divines the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Listomania.

    Best country crossover renditions -

    Best male-female duets?



    and why was the Nazareth concert I attended still the #1 worst on my list of bad concerts?

    No, no, and no. And no. (Sorry, I lost count).

    And racymind -- I feel your pain. Although you don't look old enough to have actually attended a Nazareth concert....

    Nazareth toured sometime in the early 80's. I have no clue if it was the original group0 or if the first drummer exploded.

    I just surfed one post down to realize you posted a clue earlier today. Otherwise I would have made different guesses...which I will make in a moment.

    ROTP:

    No, and yes.
    :-)


    I have to admit this one's tough...

    let me think of a fair hint.

    Okay, it's definitely about cover versions. Big help, huh?


    Darn -- can't think of a clue that won't give it away.

    Until you said the cover versions hint I thought it was about RCA Studio B in Nashville- most of these people recorded there.

    Yes, with the most beautiful voice. Angels pass out when they hear her sing.

    Not that you know me personally, but I think this has to do with the cover band that dedicated a song to me and my finance at the time. The song, "Your Cheatin' Heart". Yes, we are still married.

    With apologies to Sigmond, fiance, not finance-- though the two do seem to be somewhat related.
