Music reviews of Painted from Memory
Music Review: excellent
Rating: 4 Stars
You will not get 1960s hitmaker Burt Bacharach on Painted From Memory, nor vintage Elvis Costello.
But you will get a wonderful synergy between these two mature artists. On tracks like "Sweetest Punch," "God Give Me Strength," "This House Is Empty Now," you will get perfect art pieces by Burt that are perfect for Elvis' lyrics.
The era for both artists to be hitmakers is long gone. The lovingly crafted Top 40 Bacharach made in the 60s has no place on today's Ban Roll-On radio. It is just too good, too covertly complex, and too genuine. Costello is too interested, emotionally engaged, in keeping on exploring the punk, rockabilly, new wave, Beatleisms, and yes, 60s AM pop permutations that has kept him from being a new wave rehash and allowed him to be one of music's most facinating artists.
But outside commerce's teeth, the two have crated something very special on Painted From Memory; an art project that takes the work of two pop kings, and turns it into art as high as classical music.
Our classical music.
Description of Painted from Memory
As promised, Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach's long-awaited full-length collaboration Painted from Memory bears the hallmarks of Bacharach's classic '60s work with the likes of Dionne Warwick--full-force melodies, traditional pop instrumentation, clever and occasionally pained lyrics. It finds the pair reveling in their gifts on a dozen tracks that range from concise under-three-minute gems to sprawling art songs. The result is a set of instant classics that stand head and shoulders above much of Costello's '90s recordings. --Rickey WrightGeneral CDs
