Elvis Costello "Brutal Youth" (1994)
The book mentions Costello having recorded albums of surf and classical
music.... so in a way it's a pity that they haven't really looked at
those, instead selecting this one which returns to his early sound of
melodic, yet biting rock music.
Having said that, the album does seem to wrap in different sounds that
Costello had been playing around with, from jazz and soul flavours,
piano balladry, and Beatles/Wilson-esque vocal harmonies which helped to
keep things interesting.
As with all his other albums here, I enjoyed this and would happily listen to it again.
