we are lucky to be alive for costello bacharach
The new collaboration of bacharach and costello is a dream come true for fans of popular music. Unlike the mc cartney/Mc manus songwriting partnership of a few years ago, this is a fully realized effort utilizing the unique talents of both artists. costello fans have long been aware of elvis' admiration for bacharach,as he has previously covered two of his compositions. Its no suprise that bacharach would love the music of costello as elvis has always demonstrated considerable skill as pop songwriter. the production reflects the classic sound of bacharach's great 1960's hits. "Toledo" is in the style of "do you know the way to san jose" for instance. I have been listening to this cd non-stop for 2 weeks !
