Elvis Costello has taken so many radical departures from his musical style that that’s kind of his musical style.
Born and raised in British Pub Rock, Costello’s Almost Blue album turned country… or perhaps more accurately, in the words of a songwriter he covers on this album… “Cosmic American Music.” I have always admired this Brit’s admiration for, and understanding of, what American Music means, as a genre.
He did an album of old school pop with Burt Bacharach.
He did an album of chamber music with the Brodsky Quartet.
He did an album of… it’s not exactly jazz, in all honesty I say it’s just more cosmic American music… with Allen Toussaint.
He did Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz.
The guy digs all kinds music, and lets it show.
