Elvis Costello can still sing a kick-butt "Radio Radio," but what if he wrote it 100 times? That's what bands like Rancid are for — regurgitation. The point is, Costello's been around for 20 years and has proven his bona fide musicianship from country and pop standards to the classical chamber-pop of ''The Juliet Letters''.

That's what bands like Rancid are for — regurgitation. The point is, Costello's been around for 20 years and has proven his bona fide musicianship from country and pop standards to the classical chamber-pop of ''The Juliet Letters''. So if this collaboration seems a little wimpy, and yes, it is easy listening, trust Costello's judgment. He's been around, and his later work clearly wouldn't have been the same without the influence of Burt Bacharach. | ||
Though it's a collaboration, with both artists credited for composition, ''Painted From Memory'' sounds like Costello singing Bacharach. But what Dionne Warwick made sound like a summer stroll Costello renders gloriously painful, saving the record from Muzak hell. Bacharach's swelling, sentiment-bloated arrangements (the liner notes credit about 70 "extras") beg for a reality check, and even Costello's limited vocal range fits the bill perfectly. He handles jazzy, jumping Bacharachian melody lines with gusto and honesty. Consider ''Memory'' a pleasant and valuable history lesson. | Though it's a collaboration, with both artists credited for composition, ''Painted From Memory'' sounds like Costello singing Bacharach.
