“Tears, Tears, And More Tears” by Elvis Costello appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2013. It was first released in 2006 on the album The River in Reverse. Its best result is #874 on the WXPN 885 Greatest Songs of the New Millennium (2013).
Elvis Costello didn't write a note of "Tears, Tears, And More Tears", from The River in Reverse in 2006: the song is Allen Toussaint's, words and music, and Toussaint is right there on the record at the piano, singing alongside Costello and Davey Faragher. Joe Henry produced it, and S. "Husky" Höskulds recorded and mixed it.
The lineup is stacked. Steve Nieve leans on the Hammond organ, Pete Thomas plays drums, Faragher holds down the bass and Anthony Brown plays guitar, while a four-piece horn section, Amadee Castenell on tenor sax, Brian "Breeze" Cayolle on baritone, Joe Smith on trumpet and "Big" Sam Williams on trombone, gives the whole thing a brassy swagger.
