Does anyone know who is in Elvis Costellos back-up band? Are they known Bluegrassers or lesser-known folk?
Elvis Costello’s stellar acoustic band, The Sugarcanes, is going to include: Jim Lauderdale, Jerry Douglas, Mike Compton, Stuart Duncan, Dennis Crouch, and Jeff Taylor.
Hold on to your hats…this set is gonna be out of control… 
Here’s a little more info about the Sugarcanes project (and the album which comes out June 2) from Billboard.com:

I absolutely cannot wait for this set…
WOW!!!
That is going to be pretty damn incredible! Really looking forward to it!
Definately, Elvis Costello by himself would be amazing, but when you add the rest of them in there, this set will be nothing less then legendary
It’s gonna take everything I have got not to give this a listen before fest… I just can not wait!!!
WOW! Now that does sound good! I wonder who might join them onstage, cuz you know there will be SOMEBODY backstage who’s been working up a song or two with 'em. 
Tapers be ready; this one will definitely be in demand.
Errrrr… I hadn’t realised that there was yet another set I had to start salivating about!!!
And Cindy Lou, who are you hinting at when you say SOMEBODY? because I don’t have a clue who it might be…
Miss Harris perhaps?
that would be nice, emmylou’s stellar voice with elvis costello… mmmmmm, that would certainly be music to my ears
i bet we could count on a number of guests for the show… any other good ideas…
Sammy!
