The Boy Named If

by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

The Boy Named If cover art

Reuniting closely with his long-time backing band, the legendary British songwriter delivers one of his most energetic, guitar-driven records in recent memory. Characterized by biting, sharp-witted lyricism concerning boyhood and loss of innocence, the arrangements tap directly into the frantic, new wave-infused power pop that defined his late 1970s breakthrough.
