Burt Bacharach is Back.

This sounds interesting:

Burt Bacharach gets assistance from Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright and Dr. Dre on his first solo album since 1977, “At This Time.”

Due November 1 via Columbia, the 11-track set finds the 77-year-old songwriter deviating from the love songs for which he is best known on tracks like the anti-violence ode “Who Are These People,” which is sung by Costello.

“I had to express myself, not only musically but lyrically,” Bacharach says. “It was time for me to ask, ‘Who are these people who are taking control of our lives and how do we stop the violence?’ I’ve got two little kids and a 19-year-old son and I wonder what they’re going to do with their lives. It’s so personal to me that I even decided to do some of the singing.” source
