CML call number: CD/POPULAR/Costello
Contents: On Your Way Down; Nearer to You; Tears, Tears and More Tears; The Sharpest Thorn (Costello-Toussaint); Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further?; The River in Reverse (Costello); Freedom for the Stallion; Broken Promise Land (Costello-Toussaint); Ascension Day (Costello-Byrd-Toussaint); International Echo (Costello-Toussaint); All These Things; Wonder Woman; Six-Fingered Man (Costello-Toussaint).

V. R. Peterson wrote in People: "Costello, the wry veteran of new wave, pop and classical, joins New Orleans piano man and R&B treasure Toussaint on a memorable disc full of irresistible grooves and social commentary (including the title tune, with its bracing Katrina references). Yet what truly resonates are the ballads of gospel-tinged angst backed by old-school harmonizing. When it comes to passionate pleas, Costello may not rival Otis Redding, but his efforts on the charming standout 'Nearer to You' can't be denied."
Toussaint is also featured on Our New Orleans 2005: A Benefit Album.
