Big Costello fan here. The first time I saw him (~1978) in a small club in New Orleans, I was expecting an Elvis impersonator - really. Needless to say, he was great and I was hooked. I moved to Germany shortly thereafter and he was really popular over there.
The last time I saw him was in ~2003 after releasing the When I Was Cruel album. He was with the Imposters, not the Attractions, but Steve Nieve was still there on keyboards (essential). It was still great.
He comes here (Wolf Trap) every year, it seems. Lately, it's been in a style different from the Attractions/Imposters and I haven't been interested in seeing him.
Love me some Elvis.
