ELVIS COSTELLO "north" cd, 2003
his twenty-third album...
surprised to find i had not previously posted it on MD...
a jazz album...
lots of mournful laments/torch songs...
written during his marriage breakdown and new romance with Ms Krall...
two or three i do not like because there is simply no melody for me...
the rest are passable but nothing great except for the bonus track which i love...
songs are sparse musically, usually just piano and brushes, but some orchestrations on other tracks...
bonus tune is the only song that is musically upbeat...
album rates a modest 1.7 for me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
