Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own.

 

I was an early fan of Elvis, acquiring a UK pressing of his debut album upon it's release. I didn't care for the second nearly as much (I don't care for The Attractions, a minority opinion I know), and subsequent albums even less.

But his album King Of America is a completely different story. Great songs, and finally a band I like (to put it mildly) backing him. Plus the production of T Bone Burnett, one of my faves.

I just recently read that King Of America is also Elvis' own favorites of his. I thought I would post this thread today, 'cause, ya know.....😉

I'll have to put this one on my "bin buy" list

The debut and 2nd  album-My Aim is True/"This Year's Model" had my attention. 

SO MUCH new alt music during that period. Also saw Elvis at Hollywood High in 1978. 

A few years ago I found a copy "Almost Blue" in the 3/$10 bins.

Reviews were lukewarm, but I hear this cover album as a good listen.
