Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: what a major disappointment, clearly Mr. Costello has lost relevance in today's music world.
This is merely a gimmicky attempt at producing a "new sound" to a "new audience", but clearly falls short of the mark.
I saw him at last years Blue Grass festival in Telluride CO and thought "perhaps I am the only
one in on the joke"
trust me, if you purchase it, this is a one and done on your playlist
Sorry, but nothing along Olivers Army to heard anymore!
Buy this when...
Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Buy this when Elvis Costello gives Israel a chance and comes to perform here, rather that indulging in an unfortunately fashionable cause du jour. It's sad when a performer doesn't share her or his music with the world.
Horrible album, made my ears hurt, extremely profane
Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: This is the worst album I've listened to in recent years. ALL of the songs are boring and meandering, the lyrics are trash, and the singing, oh boy, the singing wants to make you climb up walls and pull your hair out. Avoid this at all costs.
Elvis empire



Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Elvis is everywhere and good for us. On Treme via HBO,on tour,on Sundance Channel's Spectacle and as Daddy to twins with Diana Krall so the musical empire will continue. I saw him at [...] on May 1 play for two full hours a full variety of his songs and even some rockabilly-bluegrass ones. Go buy this as it is a unique take on early American southern rarely performed songs.
Top notch songwriting with a country twang.




Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Elvis knows REAL country music better than most of the artists found in the country section of the record song. One of his best albums.
