Produced by T Bone Burnett, 'National Ransom' features a wide variety of new combos with guests Vince Gill, Marc Ribot, Buddy Miller and Leon Russell.

'National Ransom' is led off by the loud electric guitar of Marc Ribot in the left channel and the lap-steel of Jerry Douglas in the right channel. Steve Nieve enters on the Vox Continental organ, while the rhythm section consists of Dennis Crouch on double bass and Pete Thomas on drums. 'National Ransom' is the name of the album and also a rock and roll song, "For the bankrupt times, whenever they may be," as Costello recently described it.

'National Ransom' - recorded in a total of eleven days at Sound Emporium, Nashville and Village Recorders, Los Angeles - was produced by T Bone Burnett and engineered and mixed by Michael Piersante at Electromagetic, Los Angeles. All members of The Imposters and The Sugarcanes feature in a wide variety of new combos with guests Vince Gill, Marc Ribot, Buddy Miller and Leon Russell.
