Elvis Costello first collaborated with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame songwriter/arranger Allen Toussaint for the horn parts in the 1980's on Costello's contribution to a Yoko Ono tribute release and the later album Spike. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Toussaint spent time in the hellacious Superdome evacuee center before relocating to New York for a series of Hurricane Relief concerts. It was there after performances at Joe's Pub and Madison Sq Garden that he and Costello decided to record and collaborate together again.
