Elvis
Costello
and
his
partner
in
his
first
band
Rusty,
Allan
Mayes,
have
reunited
for,
as
Costello
puts
it,
“the
record
we
would
have
cut
when
we
were
18,
if
anyone
had
let
us."
Costello
-
then,
D.P.
MacManus
-
joined
Mayes’
band
Rusty
on
New
Year's
Day
1972,
and
while
for
the
next
twelve
months
they
played
dozens
of
gigs,
from
almost
deserted
clubs
to
one
of
Liverpool's
most
beautiful
Victorian
recital
halls
and
even
ventured
into
the
unknown
lands,
near
Widnes,
they
never
made
it
to
the
recording
studio.‘The
Resurrection
of
Rust’
comprises
newly
recorded
renditions
of
six
songs
drawn
from
Rusty’s
1972
set
lists:
duets
on
two
1972,
Nick
Lowe
tunes,
“Surrender
To
The
Rhythm”
and
“Don’t
Lose
Your
Grip
On
Love,”
Kentucky
songwriter
Jim
Ford’s
“I’m
Ahead
If
I
Can
Quit
While
I’m
Behind,”
and
two
originals;
“Warm
House”
(written
by
D.P.
MacManus"
in
1971)
and
“Maureen
and
Sam"
(a
musical
collaboration
by
Mayes
and
MacManus)
and,
finally,
an
arrangement
incorporating
the
Neil
Young
songs
“Everybody
Knows
This
Is
Nowhere”
and
“Dance,
Dance,
Dance",
the
latter
witnessing
Costello's
debut
on
the
electric
violin.
