Elvis Costello
Rock and Roll Music
Album · Rock · 2007
This compilation gathers Costello’s most kinetic cuts from the ’70s and ’80s. You’ll find nervy New Wave and punchy punk-pop gems “Pump It Up” and “(I Don’t Want to Go To) Chelsea”, but also a wealth of deeper cuts, including the staccato piano of “Lover’s Walk”, the Dylan-esque kiss-off “I Hope You’re Happy Now” and the deft wordplay of the sly “Girls Talk”.
