Elvis Costello's songs have always shown a lot of 1960s R-B influence, but it's never been brought out to the forefront like it is on ''Punch the Clock''. Elvis employs an R-B horn section and a team of two Jamaican women as backing vocalists on most of ''Punch the Clock'', and, while the results aren't always successful, they're never dull. | |||
Every Elvis Costello album is a mixed bag, and ''Punch the Clock'' is more mixed than most, but, again, as on all of his LP's, there are a few real gems. The standouts on this one are a minor pop masterpiece called "Everyday I Write the Book," (''"In a perfect world where everyone is equal, I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel"'') and two brooding slow numbers, "Ship Building" and "Pills and Soap." | |||
It's awfully hard to call ''Punch the Clock'' a better album than Ronstadt's or Joel's, but it ''is'' totally original and, more than anything else, it's an album willing to take risks — neither of which Ronstadt or Joel can claim. | |||
