Something a bit different to kick off 2024.

This is a mini episode reflecting on how a stunning duet by Elvis Costello and Elton John introduced me to the wonderful music of David Ackles.

They performed a beautiful version of Ackles' Down River on Spectacle, backed by James Burton, Allen Toussaint, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher.

In this episode, I look back at that performance and the career of David Ackles, who released four fine albums between 1968 and 1973.
