Sidetrack: Elvis Costello - Secondary Modern
We take a look back at one particular incident in 1979 involving the Stephen Stills Band, too much to drink, and Elvis Costello's racist remarks toward black American musicians just as his career was starting to take off in the U.S. Costello bounces back by releasing "Get Happy!!" in 1980, a collection of soul-pop gems that demonstrated a clear respect and admiration for the music of black America. To tie it back to last week's review of Spoon's "Girls Can Tell", we listen to "Secondary Modern" and explore the influence Costello had on Britt Daniels vocal stylings.
