Here's the EC bit: Cantrell is currently touring with Elvis Costello, who chose her as his opening act in an organic manner virtually unheard of in today's business-driven music marketplace. "We've been very lucky, because he was very vocal and supportive of the Not the Trembling Kind," Cantrell says. "Because he's so plugged in to music, he's the kind of guy who people ask, 'What are you listening to now?' So we sent him a copy of our new one and mentioned that we'd like to get the chance to play with him at some point. Then they called us and asked if we'd like to do it." As one of popular music's more literate, passionate artists, Costello seems like the perfect headliner to be stumping for Cantrell's heady, heartfelt music. "If I had to pick an audience that we'd like to introduce our music to, Elvis Costello's would be at the top of my list," she says. "So far they've been very supportive, considering they're ready to hear 'Pump It Up' and 'Allison.' "
