Costello Soundtrack Album

Published on

September 11, 2015

As we’ve said before here at uDiscover, “Elvis Costello, impossible to predict, difficult to pigeonhole. He is a true artist…” And as if to prove our point, he has come up with a very special 38-track, 2-CD set he’s calling, Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack Album as a companion to his memoir Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink to be published by Blue Rider Press/Penguin Random House, on 13 October.

Costello has personally chosen songs that offer the deepest emotional connection to the themes and stories in his book and the album will be available on 8 October, a few days before the book’s publication. The set includes both hits and rarities, including two previously unreleased titles: ‘April 5th’ – written and recorded with Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson and John Leventhal – and one of Costello’s earliest solo recordings, ‘I Can’t Turn It Off,’ from 1975.

The collection also features three exclusive “audio book sketches” – that do not appear in the published memoir – and a 28-page booklet providing the complete lyrics and many unseen photographs, several of them from the MacManus family album.
