The Roots Of Elvis Costello

2009 collection that contains tracks and artists that inspired the young Declan McManus (AKA Elvis Costello) When Costello's geek chic, Oxfam suit, Doc Marten boots and black-rimmed spectacles arrived Post-Punk, who would have thought that his awkward movements and jerky songs would have blossomed through all musical styles to embrace chamber music, Jazz, Country and the classics, sprinkling Pop nuggets about the charts on a 30 year plus journey that's seen him imbibe many genres and extol the virtues of his many idols along the way. 20 tracks. Snapper.
