Earlier this year, the musically restless Costello also released ''My Flame Burns Blue'' with the Metropole Orkest. The album was recorded live in 2004, and on it he performs “That’s How You Got Killed Before,” the Dave Bartholomew tune he cut with the Dirty Dozen on their 1990 album ''The New Orleans Album''. It swings like most of the tracks on this album — that is, like a very good Broadway pit band. It’s a fun, committed version, and he never sounds like he’s overreaching, nor does the orchestra sound like it’s condescending. The woozy Latin tinge given to “Clubland” is convincing, but it also sounds like a song from the Havana sequence in ''Guys and Dolls'' before Jean Simmons sings “If I Were a Bell.” <br>Translation: It’s a good-but-not-necessary Elvis Costello album, but it’s further evidence of how remarkably broad his musical tastes are, and how well he understands western popular music. | |||
