When Elvis Costello's first record was released in 1977, his bristling cynicism and anger linked him with the punk and new wave explosion. A cursory listen to My Aim Is True proves that the main connection that Costello had with the punks was his unbridled passion; he tore through rock's back pages taking whatever he wanted, as well as borrowing from country, Tin Pan Alley pop, reggae, and many other musical genres. Over his career, that musical eclecticism distinguished Costello's records as much as his fiercely literate lyrics. Because he suppor...[more]

 

 

Elvis Costello has spent the back half of his career flitting from style to style, recording everything from opera to R&B, but he avoided the country-folk of 1986's King of America until 2009, when he teamed up with America producer (and fellow Coward Brother) T Bone Burnett for Secret, Profane & Sugarcane. By its very definition, country-folk seems straightforward, but the only thing simple about Secret is the speed of its recording. Costello and Burnett assembled an all-star aco   [ read more ]

Spike was one of Elvis Costello's most wonderfully diverse musical offerings ever...and that's saying a lot given the experimental approach toward music he regularly undertook. "Throughout his career Elvis Costello has always been prolific; thus it was surprising, even given the change in record labels for the US, when he took a whole 20 months between Blood and Chocolate and this follow-up. But the musical growth he exhibits makes the wait worthwhile. The musical settings range fr   [ read more ]

Elvis Costello's tenure with Warner Brother's records marks some of the most diverse musical offerings of his career, from the impossibly catchy "Veronica" (his biggest U.S. hit) to the dark and sober "So Like Candy." This collection compiles his mature songwriting and stellar recordings from his Warner Brothers era.

Two years after his hugely successful Warner Brothers debut, Spike, Costello released Mighty Like a Rose, which echoed Spike in its diversity, yet it was a darker, more challenging record. A densely arranged masterpiece full of effects and layered guitar tracks. A must-own for any Costello fan!

The first edition in The Costello Show live performance series of complete concerts featuring Elvis Costello finds one of the most eclectic and acclaimed artists at the fiery start of his career. Live at the El Mocambo was recorded March 7, 1978 at the sold-out El Mocambo in Toronto, Canada and broadcast live by CHUM-FM. At the time, the band was touring North America in support of My Aim is True, Costello's 1977 debut. The raw, energetic live performance in the midst of th   [ read more ]

Originally Momofuku was going to be released only on vinyl and digital download, an expression of Elvis Costello's frustration with the State of the Record Industry in 2008, but those plans soon changed, turning the album into a standard release yet not removing a sense of confusion surrounding its sudden appearance, as it arrived just after Costello publicly swore off ever recording again (or performing in the U.K., but that's another matter for another time).

For those keeping score, Universal's 2008 Deluxe Edition of This Year's Model is the third expanded reissue of Elvis Costello's classic 1978 album. Like its 2002 predecessor from Rhino, Universal's expanded edition is a double-disc set, sharing many, but not all, of the same bonus material from that previously released package. Rhino shuffled off all the bonus tracks to a separate second disc running 12 tracks, whereas Universal adds ten tracks to the 13-track album on the first disc, t   [ read more ]
