mjpatton 's review for:
Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink
by Elvis Costello
I must admit that I knew virtually nothing about Costello when I started this book and probably wouldn't have recognized any of his songs out of a radio playlist although I do recall having seen him on SNL back in the day. I happened to be in an independent bookstore, and, looking for something to buy in order to support the business rather than out of any immediate need for something to read, I picked up Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink. Being vaguely aware of Costello's connections with musicians with whom I am familiar and whom I respect, probably through photos and articles in Rolling Stone, I found myself intrigued by the numerous blurbs on the cover and inner pages praising the book as one of the best musical memoirs written. I wasn't disappointed and have spent a fair amount of time recently listening to early Costello, planning to move on over time.
