The influential rock musician Elvis Costello is recognized for
the impressive breadth and scope of his music. His collaborations
with such musicians as Tony Bennett and the Count Basie orchestra,
however, attest to the many contradictions that define Elvis
Costello, the punk rocker. This important guide to his music and
career contains over 800 bibliographic citations and a complete
discography of Costello's commercially released recordings. The
discography, divided into two sections, separately details
Costello's career as performer and composer. A brief biography
traces his critically acclaimed career and highlights both the
influences on his music and the myriad ways in which his music has
influenced others.
The vast information compiled in this guide to further research
is as interesting and diverse as Costello's career. Rock music
scholars, musicologists, and Costello enthusiasts will appreciate
the videography/filmography, bibliography of musical scores, and
list of electronic resources that supplement the extensive
discography and annotated bibliography. A works index and a general
index make it easy to cross-reference and locate specific
information.
