Elvis Costello [ tickets ]'s new album, "Secret, Profane & Sugarcane," will hit stores June 2, according to a press release. Costello recorded the T Bone Burnett-produced album during a three-day session at Nashville's Sound Emporium Studio.

The album features the first Costello songs to be predominantly rooted in acoustic music since 1986's "King of America," which, along with 1989's 'Spike," also was produced by Burnett.

"Secret, Profane & Sugarcane" includes 10 previously unrecorded songs, including "Sulphur to Sugarcane" and "The Crooked Line," which were co-written with Burnett. The album also features Costello's second recorded songwriting collaboration with Loretta Lynn, "I Felt The Chill."

Additionally, Costello revisits two songs from his catalog in string band style. Both songs, including "Hidden Shame," were originally written for Johnny Cash.

The album's title makes reference to "The Secret Songs," Costello's unfinished commission for the Royal Danish Opera about the life of Hans Christian Andersen. Seeking a new connection from the author to the Anglophone world, Costello wrote about Andersen's relationship with the world famous singer, Jenny Lind, in "She Handed Me A Mirror" and "How Deep Is The Red."

The song "She Was No Good" relates some of the chaotic details of Lind's famous "All-American" concert tour of 1850, which was promoted by P.T. Barnum. In its aftermath, the song "Red Cotton" imagines Barnum reading an Abolishionist pamphlet while manufacturing cheap souvenirs of the adventure.

Those four episodes were newly adapted for the instrumentation of this record.

The forthcoming album, which also features guest appearances by Emmylou Harris and Jim Lauderdale, concludes with the waltz "Changing Partners," made famous by Bing Crosby.

Costello will release a 7" vinyl single, "Complicated Shadows," on Independent Record Day, April 18.

The prolific singer/songwriter and television host plans to tour this summer with the musicians featured on the album: Jerry Douglas (dobro), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Mike Compton (mandolin), Jeff Taylor (accordion) and Dennis Crouch (double bass). The group of musicians are collectively known on this project as "The Sugarcanes."
