"As the nights draw in this winter, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE will present… ‘Country Darkness’, a new album that throws a spotlight on 12 hidden gems from the Elvis Costello repertoire and vividly reimagines them in the duet’s definitive country-soul styling. The record will see the familiar husband/wife pairing of Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish joined by a very special guest in the form of The Imposters original: Steve Nieve, whose inimitable keys and wisdom radiate throughout the release. Synonymous with the Elvis Costello sound, Steve Nieve has worked with Elvis since 1977, recording with him for the first time on his second album ‘This Year’s Model’. He was a founding member of The Attractions, and now, for over 20 years, one of The Imposters. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, Nieve has become one of the most in-demand session keyboard players in the world with his playing identifiable on countless classic records. As something of an added bonus track, a completely original and previously unheard My Darling Clementine composition entitled “Powerless” is also included on the upcoming album release.
A carefully considered, retrospective selection sees the band take on a range of Elvis’ ever-changing eras. From earlier work (“Stranger In The House""), to some remarkable solo efforts (“The Crooked Line”, “I Lost You”), as well as re-appraising collaborations with Emmylou Harris (“Heart Shaped Bruise”), Loretta Lynn & Paul McCartney."
