My Aim Is True
Elvis Costello
4/5
Wow, it’s hard to believe this is his first, and not a greatest hits album. Lots of really good tunes, and “Alison” just gets better and better with age. “Watching the Detectives” still has an incredible base line and punchey drums, “Less than Zero”, and “Blame it on Cain” still hold up 45 years.

Very bold to go solo after so much success with Genesis. This recording has so many different beautiful elements. Here comes the flood still gives me a chill, it is an incredible song

This is an example of a relatively unheard of recording, that rocks. I loved it the first time I heard it and have loved it ever since.
