It comes only partly as a surprise to learn that one of rock's greatest and most idiosyncratic singer-songwriters of the last two decades is and has always been a record collector. This recording of 15 cover versions of mostly obscure R&B and pop songs functions as much as a tribute to Costello's record collection as it serves to open a window into his creative process, whereby the tunes herein are just so much raw material waiting to be transformed by Costello into his singular brand of music. The songs bespeak as much about his generosity as do his self-penned liner notes.
