They might not seem like obvious bedfellows, but hip-hop masters The Roots and eclectic singer/songwriter Elvis Costello are a marriage made in heaven on this groove-laden 2013 collaboration. Questlove’s head-bobbing rhythms are a perfect foil for Costello’s word games, from the snappy beat and horn jabs of the Latin-vibed “Cinco Minutos Con Vos” to a repurposing of his 1983 protest ballad “Pills & Soap” on the low-simmering soul of “Stick Out Your Tongue”.
