Review: Costello's talk show Dec 3, 2008
And it's worth it to get to the music, which is rarely less than stunning, starting with Costello's impassioned performance of the early Elton John track Border Song, backed by members of his touring band, the Imposters - Allen Toussaint on piano and James Burton, who's played with both Elvises (or Elvi) on guitar. It's brilliant and stately and soulful, its staggered harmonies recalling the best of the Band. (AZCentral -- Entertainment)

The slang word for homecribrubs poignantly against West's lamented childlessness. (Slate)
