Innovative pop-punk songwriter Elvis Costello (born Declan McManus) is worshipped by a countless number of music lovers. Often cited as a "genius." the be spectacled Brit excelled at multi-layered, deftly sensitive lyrics and a catchy new wave-pop-reggae hybrid. Odd then that twenty years after his emergence onto the punk scene he should be collaborating with strangely cool soft rock composer Burt Bacharach. Or, perhaps, not so odd, considering that the two men are both highly influential songwriters. This collaborative performance is a testament to the remarkable talent of both men, and has been widely acclaimed. An hour-long video of the performance, PAINTED FROM MEMORY, includes renditions of songs including "Toledo" and "I Still Have That Other Girl." [More]
