ELVIS COSTELLO

Spike

$7.98 CD

During 1987, Costello began a songwriting collaboration with Paul McCartney and in 1989 he released Spike, his most musically diverse album he had ever recorded. Spike featured the first appearance of songs written by Costello and McCartney, including the single "Veronica," which became his biggest American hit, peaking at number 19.

Elvis Costello was born Declan McManus in Liverpool England, and took his stage name from Elvis Presley and his mother's maiden name. After initially being tied to the punk movement, he quickly transcended the label as his music meandered widely in new musical directions. Because he supported his lyrics with his richly diverse music, Costello emerged as one of the most innovative, influential, and best songwriters since Bob Dylan.
