Dangerous Amusements: the Elvis Costello playlist

Singer/songwriter and musician Jeff Slate joins me ahead of the release of his new album, The Last Day of Summer.

We chat about his love of Elvis Costello's music and its influence on his own songwriting. Jeff recalls the many and varied Costello gigs he's attended over the years and picks out some of his favourite EC songs.

Jeff tells me about recording Imposters and Attractions, his album of music inspired by Elvis, which also featured a couple of Costello covers.

Also an acclaimed music writer and broadcaster, Jeff looks back on his different Costello interviews and features for Rolling Stone and Esquire, among others.

Check out Jeff's new single (Broken) Without You and look out for his new album in May 2024.
