ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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]

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.

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!
