The exact relationship between Henry (T-Bone Burnett) and Howard Coward (Elvis Costello) remains ambiguous. They often referred to themselves as "One and a Half Brothers," which might hint at their height difference or imply they were not actually siblings but were involved in an elaborate ruse. <br/><br/>Their musical partnership, known as The Coward Brothers, was initiated by Smiley "Doc" Snipson, who discovered Henry Coward in 1956 and signed him for a UK tour. The brothers' hit single, "My Baby Just Squeals (You Heel)," was followed by less successful records and a controversial Cold War-themed song. To preserve their fading fame, Snipson orchestrated their supposed death in a plane crash, but they were actually in hiding on a Caribbean island, secretly recording music and sending it back to Snipson.<br/><br/>When their funds ran out, they returned to Miami and made sensational claims about writing famous songs, leading to a brief stint as songwriters for Bill Bogguss. They later resumed recording, but their partnership eventually fractured, leading to years of estrangement.<br/>Their music, from early rock and roll hits to later, more introspective songs, is compiled in the album, The Coward Brothers. After years of silence, their story was explored in a radio program, revealing the complexity of their relationship and their enduring bond. Despite their tumultuous history, their music remains a testament to their unyielding spirit.<br/><br/>The Coward Brothers are Elvis Costello and T-Bone Burnett. The Audible Original radio play, The True Story Of The Coward Brothers, is directed by Christopher Guest, and stars Howard Coward, Henry Coward, Harry Shearer, Edward Hibbert, Rhea Seehorn, Stephen Root, and Kathreen Khavari.

'In 20 years' time, people will buy Definitely Maybe and listen to it for what it was. That's what<br/>is important.' sa Noel Gallagher i Augusti 1994. Ingen visste då hur rätt han skulle ha.<br/><br/>Oasis första album blev den milstolpe som Oasis låtskrivargeni förutspådde. Med hitlåtar som: Rock´n Roll Star, Supersonic, Shakermaker, Live Forever jämfördes Oasis med The Beatles och det inte bara för deras sound. När 'Definitely Maybe' släpptes så sålde den hela 86 000 exemplar första veckan, den högsta siffran för ett debut skiva I England. Totalt har den sålt fem miljoner över hela världen och Oasis har sålt över 70 miljoner skivor totalt under karriär.

Efter den kritikerrosade debuten med Definitely Maybe etablerade '(What's the Story) Morning<br/>Glory?' Oasis som ett av världens största band under 1990-talet. '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' har sålts i över 23 miljoner exemplar världen över. I Storbritannien gick albumet direkt upp på albumlistans förstaplats och har där kommit att bli det tredje mest sålda genom tiderna (efter Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band och Adeles 21). <br/><br/>Låtarna 'Don't Look Back in Anger' och 'Wonderwall' är kanske gruppens mest kända. Dessa samt 'Some Might Say' och 'Roll with It' släpptes som singlar.
