This Year's Model was Elvis Costello's first album with The Attractions. Most of the songs had been performed live with them prior to the recording of the album. The recording at Eden Studios began at the end of 1977 and was completed in early 1978. The sessions took about eleven days. In liner notes for a 2002 reissue of the album, Costello cites the Rolling Stones Aftermath as a significant influence.

'Dan is a national treasure and one of America s great songwriters.
Elvis Costello. 'Dan s songs were funny, serious, and entertaining,
and the combo of old-timey folk, country, and jazz knocked me out.
Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons. 'Dan Hicks is like
lightning in a bottle. Bette Midler. Dan Hicks didn t have his
heart set on a career in music. It all just sort of happened to
him. It didn t hurt, of course, that he was in the right place at
the right time San Francisco, 1966 and had a front-row seat for the
birth and death of the counterculture. Among other things, this is
a classic story of the 60s. More importantly, it s a story of
musical genius. By the time the Summer of Love limped to a close in
the fall of 67, Hicks had quit the Charlatans the pioneering
psych-rock band with whom he played the drums and turned to jazz,
the music he d secretly loved all along, as he began building his
own band, the Hot Licks. 'I just started taking ingredients I liked
and putting them together to see what came out, Hicks writes. What
came out was an amazing blend of complex time signatures, unusual
instrumentation, and intricate vocal harmonies that took him to the
top of the 70s rock world but also into a downward spiral of drink
and drug abuse. Emerging from a long wilderness, which he writes
about here with wit and candour, the man described by Tom Waits as
'fly, sly, wily, and dry eventually returned to recording and
performing, making a number of acclaimed albums, including Beatin
The Heat, a set of duets with Waits, Costello, Rickie Lee Jones,
and more. Along the way, his music continued to subtly permeate the
culture, turning up everywhere from The Sopranos to commercials for
Levi s and Bic. Hicks passed away in early 2016, but his music, and
the stories he tells here, remain as fresh and irresistible as
ever. I Scare Myself takes readers on a journey behind the music,
and into the life and mind of the fantastic artist who created it.
The perfect gift for music lovers and Elvis Costello fans, telling
the story behind Elvis Costello's legendary career and his iconic,
beloved songs. Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink provides
readers with a master's catalogue of a lifetime of great music.
Costello reveals the process behind writing and recording legendary
albums like My Aim Is True, This Year's Model, Armed Forces, Almost
Blue, Imperial Bedroom, and King of America. He tells the detailed
stories, experiences, and emotions behind such beloved songs as
"Alison," "Accidents Will Happen," "Watching the Detectives,"
"Oliver's Army," "Welcome to the Working Week," "Radio Radio,"
"Shipbuilding," and "Veronica," the last of which is one of a
number of songs revealed to connect to the lives of the previous
generations of his family. Costello chronicles his musical
apprenticeship, a child's view of his father Ross MacManus' career
on radio and in the dancehall; his own initial almost comical steps
in folk clubs and cellar dive before his first sessions for Stiff
Record, the formation of the Attractions, and his frenetic and
ultimately notorious third U.S. tour. He takes readers behind the
scenes of Top of the Pops and Saturday Night Live, and his own
show, Spectacle, on which he hosted artists such as Lou Reed, Elton
John, Levon Helm, Jesse Winchester, Bruce Springsteen, and
President Bill Clinton. The idiosyncratic memoir of a singular man,
Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink is destined to be a
classic.
