5.0 out of 5 stars We should not be surpirsed!, April 20, 1999
This review is from: Songs Of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous (Audio CD)
This album is like a secret garden, where old themes and new ideas jump out from behind each other to surprise you. Some songs I understand better now, some less so. Few songs stir me as much as the EC versions, but some are simply fascinating. If you have not yet discovered the great man you will find this collection tempts you further, for the enlightened it is simply gripping. I bought it thinking it was a cynical financial release, and played it to death. I have followed EC through from Pump It Up! in my teens through countless recordings and live performances (most recently a memorable set in Liverpool at the Royal Court -where he sounds best)and this album still surprised me - I should not be so quick to jump to conclusions! Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of 1998's best; Costello's songwriting shines, April 8, 1999
This review is from: Songs Of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous (Audio CD)
If you're a fan of Elvis Costello, this is a must have collection of a variety of artists interpreting his songs. He's a master songwriter, and the diverse quality of the performers included here is a testament to his talent. There's not a bad track on this collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best CDs ever recorded, December 15, 1998
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Songs Of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous (Audio CD)
This is a fabulous collection of Costello covers. The name performers do a fine job, but the show is stolen by the Irish pub singers and lesser-known artists (at least to American audiences). The culmination is Chet Baker's rendering of Almost Blue, recorded, I believe, on his last tour of Japan. Overall, this is one of the best CDs ever recorded. Even those not enamored of Costello's own versions should find something to love here!
