Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint – The River In Reverse - Preowned CD

Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint's The River In Reverse is a heartfelt response to Hurricane Katrina, blending R&B , jazz , and soul into a seamless whole. Released in June 2006, this Grammy-nominated album captures the urgency of New Orleans through Costello's incisive vocals and Toussaint's timeless songwriting.

The CD format preserves the album's warmth , dynamic range , and live-room energy , making it an essential listen for fans of roots-driven pop and New Orleans soul .
