Elvis Costello - Pomp & Pout: The Universal Years
He’s got a new album coming this fall, but in the meantime fans will enjoy this 18-track collection that neatly summarizes two decades of Costello’s prolific output. Included are songs from Costello’s piano-ballad rich North, his Burt Bacharach collaboration Painted from Memory and his country flavored The Delivery Man, with guests Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris. There’s also some of his blistering, acerbic rock from When I Was Cruel and New Orleans magic from his elegiac The River in Reverse. Eclectic Elvis.
