Elvis Costello

    Elvis Costello è un musicista e cantautore i cui testi sono ricchi di giochi di parole e di un vocabolario espansivo. La sua musica attinge a decine di generi, e il critico Stephen Thomas Erlewine ha osservato: "Costello, l'enciclopedia del pop, può reinventare il passato a propria immagine." La sua voce distintiva è emersa dalle scene del pub rock, punk e new wave, stabilendo un'identità artistica unica. È celebrato per il suo approccio letterario alla scrittura di canzoni e per la sua capacità di fondere magistralmente diverse influenze musicali.

    • "I asked my dad if he needed 'Please, Please Me' any more. He laughed and handed the record to me . . . ' In a career spanning four decades, Elvis Costello (born Declan MacManus) has made himself a huge reputation through his tunes, lyrics and occasional bad behaviour. His long-awaited memoir finally reveals all about his mistakes and his marriages, his faults and his family. From his controversial early television appearances, to becoming one of the industry's elder statesmen, Costello's memoir - which he has written himself - is a one-man history of British music. A warm, deep and surprisingly funny insight into an amazing life, it is rich with anecdotes about fame, music and the creation of his famous songs."

      Unfaithful Music – Mein Leben
    • Pionnier de la scène Pub Rock, plus tard associé au New Wave, membre actif de la Jazz Foundation of America, Elvis Costello résume à lui seul plusieurs décennies de musique populaire. Né Declan Patrick MacManus, Elvis Costello a grandi à Londres et à Liverpool. Fils et petit-fils de musiciens, ses premiers pas sur la voie tracée par ses aînés consistèrent à gratter une guitare en carton dans le salon familial, mais le menèrent bien vite dans les plus fameuses salles de concert de la planète, accompagné des partenaires les plus variés. Cette autobiographie retrace la formidable carrière de celui qui a désormais sa place dans le Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, entre humour et autodérision lorsqu'il s'étonne de son propre succès, et émotion lorsqu'il se demande à quoi bon écrire encore des chansons que son père défunt ne pourra pas écouter...
