More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Elvis Costello is arguably one of Britain's greatest living songwriters. Over the past 30 years he has amassed an enduring body of work, notable not only for its quality but also for the breadth of its ambition. Embracing a host of different musical genres he has shown himself to be consistently adept at everything from pub rock to classical, from punk to country. Paul Mathur traces the story of Costello's career, from his Catholic childhood in London and Liverpool, through his burgeoning love of music and first forays into performance with his group Flip City, to his breakthrough during the white heat of punk with the Attractions, and his ensuing solo success. The book includes exclusive interviews with friends and associates, as well as analyses of more than 20 of Costello's albums.
