Consistent with the genre-hopping he's become known for, The Delivery Man covers a lot of territory within its thirteen tracks. The opening "Button My Lip" starts things off with the biggest opening jolt he's delivered in years thanks to its disjointed, buzzing guitar and The Imposters clearly working pretty damn hard. Costello continues to go for a bigger guitar sound on much of The Delivery Man, as on the tough strum and twang of "There's A Story In Your Voice" (which also features a great guest appearance from Williams), and the good time garage-like groove of "Monkey To Man". On the prettier side, Emmylou Harris shares the spotlight with Costello and nothing else but his ukulele on the closing "The Scarlet Tide" after first appearing on the ballad "Nothing Clings Like Ivy". Delivering all of this with the support of The Imposters doesn't exactly hurt either.
