It only makes sense that Elvis Costello and the Roots would make their first TV appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon: It was in the Roots dressing room there where they recorded Wise Up Ghost, their new album together. Costello and Fallons house band performed a pair of songs last night, barely breaking a sweat as they locked in on Walk Us Uptown, Costello plucking at his guitar and drawling out his vocals over a super-tight beat from Questlove, a loping bassline and flourishes from horns and keyboards.

Later, in a web-only bonus performance, the collaborators slowed down on the soulful Tripwire, with chiming keyboard arpeggios cascading behind Costellos mournful vocals for a verse before the rest of the band kicked in. Costello is set to appear on Fallon again Thursday, and he and the Roots celebrated Wise Up Ghost Monday with a performance at Brooklyn Bowl in New York.
