It is a collection that ranges from the ferocious, bass-driven opening track, "Button My Lip," which speaks in the voice of a desperate man on the verge of committing a terrible crime, to a tender and timely closing rendition of "The Scarlet Tide," referred to by Costellos co-composer and fellow Oscar nominee T-Bone Burnett as an "anti-fear song." Like a lot of great things in music history, The Delivery Man can be said to have started with the late great Johnny Cash. "The Delivery Man is actually a character imported from a song I wrote in 1986 for Johnny Cash," Costello explains. "He's based on a real character. I read this story in the paper about a man who confessed to murdering his childhood friend thirty years later, having been in prison for a number of other things. I thought this story was very interesting because he'd carried this burden of guilt of this childhood crime." ## Images ![The Delivery Man - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yUBcxTVUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet Music, Sour Grapes *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2007* I was fortunate enough to buy the expanded edition first. Those who didn't are disappointed. Boo-hoo-hoo! But I'm not going to dwell on their sour grapes or downgrade this album as a result. Let's talk about the sweet music, shall we?This is wonderful, honest stuff, a return to form for our delivery man Elvis. He's written moving, cutting-edge songs and performed them with a top-flight crew, and he's stretched himself by immersing himself in Mississippi culture, an influence that pervades the album.Almost an hour of studio recordings are nicely complemented by nearly a half-hour of an exquisite informal session on a second CD. This music has a very intimate, live feel. Three of the songs on the two discs are unavailable elsewhere.The video of Elvis' Memphis performance of "Bedlam" whets one's appetite for an eminently recommendable DVD called "Club Date: Live in Memphis," which includes several songs with Emmylou Harris and a long documentary about his explorations of the region's musical heritage. Check it out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Play It In Reverse Order! *by E***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2004* At first, I had a hard time getting into this one. The first track is not my thing ... so I programmed the CD in reverse and presto - it blooms. I also grabbed the bonus track from iTunes ("She's Pulling Out the Pin", which is classic Elvis) and added it to my mix as the first tune.Nice mix of ballads and rockers, great lyrics and vocals - standard excellent Elvis fare! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go Elvis Go Costello Go *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2005* Better Delivery that Ups is the Costello Man ... Good songs , Great anger , Real as it gets in this Bush era of Loosers are Okey , and I wonder if the Imposters are Impostoring Los Lobos in a Rootsy kind of dust ... Best effort since Brutal Youth ( a must ) and All this Useless Beauty ( another must ) ... I like it , it makes me feel Wanted ... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/17308962-the-delivery-man](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/17308962-the-delivery-man) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
