Product Description

Elvis Costello was as much a pub rocker as he was a punk rocker and nowhere is that more evident than on his debut, My Aim Is True. It's not just that Clover, a San Franciscan rock outfit led by Huey Lewis (absent here), back him here, not the Attractions; it's that his sensibility is borrowed from the pile-driving rock & roll and folksy introspection of pub rockers like Brinsley Schwarz, adding touches of cult singer/songwriters like Randy Newman and David Ackles.

濃いい曲・声ですねー。良くも悪くも。長時間聞くと疲れてしまう時もある。

　ボーナストラック聴きたさに、同じＣＤを何度も購入するのは、さすがに嫌気がしてきます。BOB DLYANのブートレッグシリーズのような出し方がなぜできないんだろうか？それがすごく疑問です。そうすれば、棚に同じタイトルのＣＤを並べなくて済むのに･･･。（確かに、初期のコステロの音源はすごく魅力的で、聴きたいとは思うのですけど…。）
