Elvis Costello, known by various aliases such as Howard Coward, Napoleon Dynamite, or the Emotional Toothpaste, has left an indelible mark on the music industry. His diverse career spans multiple bands, including the Attractions, the Confederates, and the Imposters. With an extensive catalog of over 30 studio albums since 1977, Costello's artistic journey has been characterized by constant reinvention. This book, however, delves into his most acclaimed and accessible work, primarily recorded between 1977 and 1986 with The Attractions (Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas, and Bruce Thomas). While some other notable friends make appearances along the way, such as Nick Lowe, Billy Sherrill, and T-Bone Burnett, the focus remains on the core of Costello's musical output during this prolific period.
From his humble solo beginnings as a pub rocker with attitude on My Aim Is True to his cacophonous farewell to The Attractions on Blood and Chocolate, this book traces a tumultuous and sometimes bewildering career trajectory. Costello's artistic choices often prioritized artistic freedom and expression over commercial fame and fortune. Elvis Costello and The Attractions - On Track is a comprehensive exploration of every album, song, and non-album B-side or contemporary cast-off from their all-too-brief whirlwind decade of existence. It delves into the creative process, musical influences, and the enduring legacy of this influential band. Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer to Costello's music, this book offers a deep dive into the rich tapestry of his artistic achievements.
