ELVIS COSTELLO And His IMPOSTERS Rockin’ Out On American TV
Live on TV
A week ago living singer-songwriter legend ELVIS COSTELLO

THE BOY NAMED IF. A rapturous return to rockin’ form.
Last weekend he took the stage on the
Late Show With Stephen Colbert playing
two highlights (and a surprise) from the
new LP…
– MAGNIFICENT HURT –
– FAREWELL, OK –

ELVIS COSTELLO Released His 32nd Album Today With Help From THE IMPOSTERS
14 January 2022
Artists: ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS
New album: THE BOY NAMED IF
Release: 14 January 2022 – his 32th (!) LP
Mojo (British music monthly): “The most energised performance Costello has
committed to record in a long time and – despite his protestations that The Imposters
are an entirely different band – his most classic Attractions-like album since 1994’s
Brutal Youth.” Score: 8/10.
Turn Up the Volume: I’m pretty sure Costello started writing songs since his
birth 67 years ago and never stopped and never will stop until his last breath.
Singles: Farewell, OK / Paint The Red Rose Blue/ Magnificent Hurt
– MAGNIFICENT HURT –
– FAREWELL, OK –
– PAINT THE RED ROSE BLUE –

Artist: ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS
Active: Since 1970 / 32 studio LPs
New album: THE BOY NAMED IF
Release: 14 January 2022
Lead single: MAGNIFICENT HURT
Costello phoned his band The Imposters (actually his longtime
backing band The Attractions) during lockdown, they met in
the studio and recorded new album The Boy Named If,
out January 2022.
The lead single takes us back to his 70s sound. Crackling pop
a la Costello with that retro organ warmth, vocal twists and turns,
a steady beat/chorus and muscled guitars.
Here comes the King…
