Elvis Costello — Live At The El Mocambo

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 16, 2009 1:06 pm
This live album, recorded in 1978 at the Toronto venue, was originally a much sought-after bootleg that was first released as a promotional disc. It was later released properly in 1993 as part of the 2 ½ Years box set and has now been reissued. While the sound quality isn't great and doesn't seem to have been improved, that doesn't really matter...

Elvis Costello — Secret, Profane & Sugarcane

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) June 12, 2009 11:56 am
Elvis Costello has dabbled in a wide range of genres over the years, and on this latest effort he focuses on acoustic roots and bluegrass. It's not nearly as successful as his foray into country music on 1981's Almost Blue, but I'll definitely take it over his classical work with The Brodsky Quartet on 1993's The Juliet Letters. Costello's...

Costello And Police In Buffalo Bring Back Memories, But Not Much Excitement

Elvis Costello started his set five minutes early, but I got to my seat during his first song, one of a handful from his new Momofuku album. Though I don't know any of the titles, and Costello didn't mention them (aside from the acoustic ballad "My Three Sons," which unfortunately had no Uncle Charlie references), I enjoyed them all and...

Elvis Costello & The Imposters — The Delivery Man

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) October 5, 2004 10:39 am
Following the piano-based North, The Delivery Man finds Costello playing the kind of classic songs that he does best, only with a rawness that he hasn’t explored in years. The bulk of the record is an exquisitely rowdy and heartbreaking Southern gothic song cycle following a quartet of characters, with a few like-minded songs thrown in to fill...

Elvis Costello — National Ransom

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) November 26, 2010 10:03 am
If Elvis Costello's 2009 Secret, Profane & Sugarcane album was a return to the acoustic vibe of 1986's King Of America, there are many places where his new National Ransom LP attempts to recapture the rough sonic dissonance inhabiting King's follow-up, Blood & Chocolate. Costello turns to T-Bone Burnett again to produce National Ransom (it...
