Costello & Nieve | |||
{{Bibliography text}} | {{Bibliography text}} | ||
Elvis Costello and the Attractions released their first full-length collaboration in a decade with ''All This Useless Beauty''. Before the band toured America, Costello hit several U.S. cities with Attractions pianist Steve Nieve for a series of mostly acoustic dates. ''Costello & Nieve'' features two hours of the duo's performances culled from these shows. | |||
The five-disc EP collection has been issued in a limited edition of only 30,000 copies. | |||
Over 26 tracks, the duo offer ample evidence that Costello's songs can stand up without much instrumentation. | |||
Costello and Nieve perform spare versions of all but one song from ''All This Useless Beauty'', a few covers (such as the Grateful Dead's "Ship of Fools") and a fair amount of tracks from Costello's extensive back catalog. | |||
Nieve's quirky but classically grounded playing has always been the perfect complement for Costello's moody, sometimes overreaching vocals. The pianist adds menace to the reggae-tinged rocker, "Watching the Detectives," but the set concentrates on ballads like "Man Out Of Time" and "Just a Memory." Costello and Nieve strip "Temptation" (from 1980's ''Get Happy'') of its up-tempo R&B style and transform it into a gentle near-lullaby. | |||
