Those who understand music in depth know just how ahead of his time Elvis Costello really was. And the Attractions would have outplayed any band back then. The quality of their playing is just outstanding.
Drummer Pete Thomas' daughter also plays drums. Her name is Tennessee Thomas (no, I didn't make that up) and she plays drums for a band called The Like.
oh I know they've got their problems. Comin home soon....When they gonna learn their lesson? When they gonna stop all these victory processions? And you look so pretty....
All these guys -- artists in their own right. This song really compliments each one creating simultaneously in harmony. Isn't that what joy is all about? Thank you so much Declan.
@horseluver7926 Yes...very true, but all that soul he acquired came from years of studying the masters, and he even went reggae with Write the Book...very talented man. I'm still trying to figure out how he and Diana Krall got together.
Awesome! His greatest period. Hilarious at .56 when he says "he's no saint". Best acting in a video I have seen. Fantastic writing and what piano and bass from Steve and Bruce.
Most expressive pairs of eyebrows and separated teeth in the world.

This guy's mentality and skill simply blows away anyone listening to his lyrics and music. If you are not a fan, then you have no soul...
