I really liked the last Elvis Costello record, an accomplished, mature pop record that he couldn't have made in his younger years, and when I heard that he was going to be pointing back to some of his older material for this new record, I was a bit concerned that he wasn't going to be able to find his groove. However, quite the opposite is true. At home with Lucinda Williams and other established acts on the Lost Highway label, Costello has quite nicely fit together several pieces of a puzzle that has been laid out over a three decade long career. We have a bit of the rocking early stuff, there is a dash of bluesy rock, a touch of balladry, a pinch of twang, and a hint of power pop even. Amazingly, it all hangs together really well, and while it's true that he's not going to be getting the MTV spins he got 20 years ago, this record will find its audience and doesn't really need that exposure anyway.
