Song of the Day #4,007: ‘Gloria’ – Umberto Tozzi

Song of the Day #4,006: ‘The Big Light’ – Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello’s 1986 album King of America blended Country and Americana flavors with his brand of brainy singer-songwriter rock, resulting in one of his greatest achievements.

Ruess released a solo album in 2015 while Antonoff has become one of the most sought-after producers and songwriting collaborators in the industry. Dost is probably dying for the band to get back together.
