Painted From Memory
by Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach
Bringing together two distinct generations of master pop songwriters, this collaborative effort marries Costello's hyper-literate, frequently cynical lyricism with Bacharach's lush, impeccably sophisticated orchestrations. The sweeping strings and horn arrangements serve as a beautifully melancholic backdrop for a song cycle deeply concerned with heartbreak and enduring loss.
