Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True (Deluxe Edition) Album

The My Aim is True album is one of the most solid debuts in rock and roll history. With that cool, nasal voice, economic and effective arrangements and lyrics that capture his generation, every single track can be rated between very good and excellent. The tasteful backing vocals all over create an atmosphere that puts past and future together in the shape of a revolutionary record. By listening to pearls like `'Blame It On Cain'', `'Mistery Dance'' and `'Pay It Back'', Costello's influences from early rock are water-clear, but newly processed, transformed, up to date. He opens you up to a world of music that would soon rise in popularity including reggae, ska and world music. Elvis may not have been the second coming, but he sure is great.
