NOT your ordinary folk singer......Costello delivers a sophisticated fusion of jazz, folk rock, and blues. With the eloquence and vocal range of Barbra Streisand, the power and soul of Aretha Franklin, the songbird quality of Joni Mitchell, and the edgy guitar pounding rhythms of Ani DiFranco; Costello's brand of jazz folk defines it all!
