Elvis Costello Reunites With Teenage Bandmate for Nostalgic LP ‘Rusty: The Resurrection of Rust’
Fifty years after their short-lived band Rusty dissolved, Costello is back with his old mate Allan Mayes for their first album together.
Last year, Elvis Costello received a letter from former bandmate Allan Mayes. Their friendship goes back to the early Seventies when they were teenagers gigging in tiny halls around England, but they split long before Costello found success on his own — and only the most devoted Elvis aficionados know of their work together.
“He wanted to remind me that it would soon be 50 years since I joined his band, Rusty, just after our first meeting at a party on New Year’s Eve, 1971,” Costello said in a statement. “He asked me if I wanted to celebrate this anniversary by getting together to play a few songs that we used to know. I said, ‘Absolutely not! Let’s make the record we would have cut when we were 18, if anyone had let us.”
