April 5th: Elvis Costello, Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson

Elvis, Rosanne and Kris sing "April 5th" accompanied by Rosanne's husband, John Leventhal. For a wonderful essay on how the three collaborated to write this song (and a brilliant bit of writing about writing in general), see this article Rosanne wrote in the NY Times:

It's like going to the Church of real music. Simply perfection, real spirit, sounds like breathing...Thank Heavens for these artists.

Why don't they just get together (like THAT) and release an album?

I saw this concert on TV with my mother in law and her sister and all 3 of us fell in love with this song. I love this song, so pure, so crafty and deep. Hats off to all to all 3 of you. And this is coming from a Heavy Metal fan.  Just a beautiful song.................Amazing.
