The Best of Elvis Costello – The Man


Alan Jones

The prolific Elvis Costello last week collected his seventh top 20 album inside seven years with The Best Of Elvis Costello – The Man. Despite the omission of crucial "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes" it's a brave attempt to chronicle the musical highpoints of an extraordinarily diverse career, and a compilation of rare quality which brings together 18 of Costello's finest performances from "Alison" to "Shipbuilding."

It includes his cover of the C&W standard "Good Year For The Roses" and his update of the previously obscure R&B song "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down," but most of this 57 minute feast explores Costello's duel role of singer/songwriter. A worthy celebration of a great talent, and one of the finest compilations of the Eighties…
