Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True .jpg) .gif) By Rickey Wright
Elvis Costello kicked off his debut album with a formal device that
would also serve his next two long-players well: the first thing you hear
is his voice. That opening phrase--"Now that your picture's in the
paper..."--was more than sneakily, if not intentionally, appropriate,
since Costello was quickly declared the second coming. It's become de
rigueur to dis the pub-rock backing of U.S. band Clover, but their
work here is satisfactorily edgy; guitarist John McFee makes some of the
arrangements with his wailingly articulate fills. The remastered Rhino
reissue includes a full second disc of demos and rarities.
