I can vouch for T Bone Burnett. What a kind, talented and sardonic fellow. I adopted him as my older brother, in my head. It was great to discover he's taller than I am.
Mr. Colbert, I have to mention how smoking hot your studio band is. I love their mini intro's of the bands they play. Like tonight they were doing a bit of the Neville Brothers who I love and know those guys really well, though Art and Charles Neville passed away. Willie Green their ol' drummer was my close buddy, Cyril Neville to. Plus it really trips me out when your band plays excerpts of Fela Kuti. Thee KING OF AFRO BEAT WHO TO THIS DAY STILL ROCKS. PEACE UP FROM BALI. 🌴✌️✌️🏄🏄🏄✌️✌️🌴
Notice that musicians, like T-Bone and Elvis here, often acknowledge the band. They know what a constellation Jon put together, Louis inherited, and Stephen continues to go to bat for. Actors sometimes do as well, especially Broadway people who know that you're only as good as your band. Politicians, not so much; they tend to take a band this good for granted.
@@aiai-j7i Omg, when Stephen throws invisible objects offscreen, and I hear a sound effect from the band? 🤣 I want to shout out "I heard that, Louis!"😂
3:45 "If you wanna know what's good about the United States, listen to our music, 'cause in our music, all of the... the promise of the United States is realized. 'Cause people from all nationalities, all countries, all languages, all religions, ethnicities have all gotten together and _listened_ to each other and created harmony." 🤷♂ We Are the World.
I wonder how many people in Colbert’s audience even know Elvis Costello, much less T Bone Burnett. Burnett may be the most important name in American music the past 30 years, but he’s mostly behind the scenes as a producer of some of the great American rock, roots rock, folk rock, country, and Americana. He’s a walking encyclopedia of American music, and anyone who wants to make a better album calls in T Bone to make it happen. T Bone Burnett doesn’t often cut his own records, but his latest, _The Other Side_, will make you cry, it’s so good. Absolutely check it out.
Great thanks and gratitude for your fun processing of tragic truths and social needs Stephen. Thank you for the the platform for 2 great musicians seeking to convey their heartfelt, career length personal knowledge of the great opportunities and gifts that the culture of freedom and responsibility, in America, that has been so well captured and conveyed by musicians in America, whether from America or elsewhere - such as the great Declan Macmanus, known as Elvis Costello, and T-Bone Burnett.
T-Bone + Elvis bring it to the Point, what America is all about and what the real Greatness of the USA is. What a wonderful Music-Couple the Two are. And the Rest of the Band are pure Virtuosity too.
I saw T Bone in a side tent @ Sonoma Cty. Fsir many years ago. I knew him from the local rafio show promotions. He's comeca long wsy & deservedly. "Wstch Out For The Trap Door".
Arrived in Santa Barbara in 1979, Elvis Costello was playing the Arlington Theater: Sold out, could hear the warm up band standing out side when I spied a man go to the ticket booth back door...he was handed a coupe of tickets, asked if I could buy the extra...he gave it to me, it was a comp, in the 5th row center...ever get to SB, check out the interior of the Arlington...
First time I’ve seen the great T- Bone Burnett. Funny how you picture someone in your mind. Sometimes you’re close. I was wayyy off. Pictured him as shorter, sort of like Roy Clark.
OK, did Colbert's band mistake Elvis Costello for Elvis Presley? Mystery Train is clearly a Presley song (or at least he covered it, which Costello did not)!
i discovered T Bone while watching S1 of Mr Mercedes...... his "It's Not Too Late" was chosen for the opening theme..... ua-cam.com/video/OCNgC2cSXzc/v-deo.html
If I am 75 dollars, why am I not in the shortlist and contacted for hourly dayly work? Where is my income? How can I learn anything with severe malnutrition?
“the promise of the united states is realized in our music”… i really hope this was A.I. generated, because i’d hate to think a living human being wrote something that stupid.
Elvis Costello is 5’10”. He might look short next to T-Bone Burnett, who is 6’4”. Though, truth be told, what they look like is the least important thing about them.
Beautifully put by T-Bone regarding the promise of America is alive in the music. Never heard it put like that but it’s perfect. Thanks man
Well said!
Interesting that newly elected P. Hasn't and won't attend Kennedy awards
Elvis Costello and T Bone Burnett... ✨✨✨
Put them both undernearh the Christmas tree as best gift for the beloved ones ❤🎉❤
Both Elvis and T-Bone? How do they sit still?
Happy Hanukkah
We love elvis costello and t bone burnett
Tbone thankyou for saying that about our harmony through music.
Yeah!!😊👍👍👍
These folks most definitely deserved more than an 8 minute interview.
They're a bit squirrely as interviews. Eight seemed about right.
Was there in the Ed Sullivan Theatre last night. Wonderful show!
💚
Thank you SC for an amazing interview ❤❤❤❤
Never tire of musicians discussing their craft❤❤
Fewer words… more music… I agree 🎶
Love Elvis Costello.
T-produced both albums from Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, both masterpieces
these men are the Musician's Musicians
Amen 🎉TBone 🗽♥️✌️🥰
Thank you Elvis C.❤
Beautiful. Great memories. 💙
🎶Train arriving, 16 coaches long🎶
Absolute treasures
I can vouch for T Bone Burnett. What a kind, talented and sardonic fellow. I adopted him as my older brother, in my head. It was great to discover he's taller than I am.
T Bone Burnett produced Lisa Marie Presley's last Album, Storm And Grace. It's my favorite of hers, and I highly recommend it!
RIP LMP
Two musical giants!

What a thread!❤👍👍👍
I agree! I am in awe of them every episode. Louis brings great energy!!

When a guest does not acknowledge these wonderful musicians, I am insulted.

The segue into the coward brothers was great. I'm jealous if the audience.
5 stars for this.

I saw Elvis in a small club called One Block West in 1977. I wish it was then.
Wow!! two great artists awesome

As a Militant Coward, I'm all in on the Coward Brothers.
T-Bone is a great artist
T-Bone + Elvis bring it to the Point, what America is all about and what the real Greatness of the USA is.
What a wonderful Music-Couple the Two are. And the Rest of the Band are pure Virtuosity too.
Love Joy Peace 🌺🍃🌸🍃🌺🍃🌹✨✨✨✨✨✨💫
Thank you, T Bone.

I was at that show! Used to be an usher at the Arlington…
Elvis Costello. What an actor. 😂
And dancer an playwright..
Let's not forget or leave out Robert Plant. Thanks for the music fellas.
Plant is better off left out and forgotten.
✌️ Now if we can get some harmony in the streets & more 🙏
Can't believe you skipped over the brilliant speech T Bone gave about the universal importance of American music throughout the world !
EC...legend 💪🙌

Cool guys!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🏽... Amen! USA USA USA
I saw Elvis when he played at my college many decades ago. I remember he played a T-bone song. Wonder if that was before or after they met???
❤❤
❤😎❤
Come on now please don't disappoint us we need four more years of Our Cartoon President to get through this
❤
Cool cats!

If you remove all immigrants from American music, you are left with muzak. Which sounds remarkably similar to Musk.

The Promise Of The United States Is Realized In Our Music - Elvis Costello & T Bone Burnett
We are getting to idiocracy by Trump😢
"Elvis died when he joined the Army." . . . . . . . . . . . John Lennon
And...?
Anyone know the brand of sunglasses the T Bone is wearing?
The coolest. 😉
(No clue what brand)
Ray-Ban Wayfarers, maybe? 🤔
Ok. I'm not that old.
🌹💜🎉🩵
OK, did Colbert's band mistake Elvis Costello for Elvis Presley? Mystery Train is clearly a Presley song (or at least he covered it, which Costello did not)!
I suspect the band knows that Elvis Presley is dead. I think they were just being wry.
He threw a pen, like a long goner..., Then let these men leave... Shame on you, colburt
true.. songs like: RED, WHITE AND BRAINWASHED, and "die for the government".
i discovered T Bone while watching S1 of Mr Mercedes...... his "It's Not Too Late" was chosen for the opening theme.....
ua-cam.com/video/OCNgC2cSXzc/v-deo.html
dorks... all three of them
Why do musicians wear sunglasses indoors?
Stage lights + it's cool
Declan & Joseph Henry are great artists, but they should leave "The Coward Brothers" intended comic irony to the professional comedians.
This is so depressing I mean the former president is
If I am 75 dollars, why am I not in the shortlist and contacted for hourly dayly work? Where is my income? How can I learn anything with severe malnutrition?
“the promise of the united states is realized in our music”… i really hope this was A.I. generated, because i’d hate to think a living human being wrote something that stupid.
I don't understand you. I understood T Bone.
Elvis must be pretty special to have the wife that he does. Other than that, I’m really lost on his music really overrated.
Interview meh. 😮
Elvis C I love, but don't car4 TBB's badiitude
Elvis Costello is so small. He must be nearly a dwarf.
thanks! NOT COMFORTED BC THEY'RE COMING FOR MY VAGINA!! while your guitar gently weeps for ME? thanks COLBERT!! WHEN IS ANDERSON & JAKE ON ??
Elvis Costello is so small. He must be nearly a dwarf.
Maybe that's why his sound is gigantic!☺️🎶🎵🎶🔈🔉🔊🎙📢🔔
Elvis Costello is 5’10”.
He might look short next to T-Bone Burnett, who is 6’4”.
Though, truth be told, what they look like is the least important thing about them.
