King of America

by The Costello Show (Featuring Elvis Costello)

King of America cover art

Temporarily billing himself as 'The Costello Show', Elvis Costello crafted a remarkably stripped-down, acoustic-heavy exploration of American roots music. Utilizing legendary session musicians, the album weaves country, folk, and blues textures around his highly literate, pessimistic, and politically abstract lyricism. 'King of America' is a deeply introspective, mature turn that highlighted his brilliance outside the confines of new wave.
