The Attraction of Elvis Costello
Richard Abowitz
From the moment Elvis Costello emerged, backed by an early version of Huey Lewis' the News, there was never any doubt that he is among the elite post-Dylan songwriters. In fact, Costello performed with Dylan. He was also chosen by Paul McCartney as a songwriting partner. And Costello almost made a second career out of surprising collaborations, among them records with Burt Bacharach, Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Brodsky Quartet. Once Costello even dashed off an album's worth of songs for Wendy James. Then there are his host of odd movie cameos in flicks like Austin Powers, and the Spice Girls movie. But Costello returns to what he does best on his latest, When I Was Cruel, offering fans acerbic and literate guitar rock. Backed by the Imposters, a group featuring former members of the Attractions, this show is sure to be a romp through Costello's brilliant and eclectic catalogue.
