Secret, Profane and Sugarcane (Alternate Version)

Secret, Profane and Sugarcane (Alternate Version)

The sounds of country and Americana infuse Costello’s 2009 album, recorded in Nashville in just three days. “I Felt the Chill Before the Winter Came” is a haunting waltz-time lament written with Loretta Lynn, while he reworks his own “Complicated Shadows” as a country shuffle with guitars that twang and sigh. There are boot-scooters (“Hidden Shame”), heartbreakers (“Changing Partners”), and plenty of tears in beers, as Costello’s mood swings between the back porch and the bar.
