Theme Week: Big '80's - Elvis Costello











Elvis Costello - Radio, Radio [Live]

Elvis Costello is a formidable talent, a clever lyricist who seems to know what's cool before we do even if he's the nerdy geek at the high school prom. "Radio, Radio" is one of those tracks that straddles different ideas and genres - punk, new wave, first wave, rockabilly, pop. I think this recording holds its own with the Police & Joe Jackson tracks previously posted for this theme week - as a trio I think they sound nice together. Rock-N-Roll trivia: Elvis Costello is married to Diana Krall and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 (thanks Google). Enjoy!
