Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink provides
readers with a master’s catalogue of a lifetime of great music.
Costello reveals the process behind writing and recording legendary
albums like My Aim Is True, This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Almost Blue, Imperial Bedroom, and King of America.
He tells the detailed stories, experiences, and emotions behind such
beloved songs as “Alison,” “Accidents Will Happen,” “Watching the
Detectives,” “Oliver’s Army,” “Welcome to the Working Week,” “Radio
Radio,” “Shipbuilding,” and “Veronica,” the last of which is one of a
number of songs revealed to connect to the lives of the previous
generations of his family.
Costello chronicles his musical
apprenticeship, a child's view of his father Ross MacManus' career on
radio and in the dancehall; his own initial almost comical steps in folk
clubs and cellar dive before his first sessions for Stiff Record, the
formation of the Attractions, and his frenetic and ultimately notorious
third U.S. tour. He takes readers behind the scenes of Top of the Pops and Saturday Night Live, and his own show, Spectacle,
on which he hosted artists such as Lou Reed, Elton John, Levon Helm,
Jesse Winchester, Bruce Springsteen, and President Bill Clinton.
The idiosyncratic memoir of a singular man, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink is destined to be a classic.
