  • BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT up with ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987
    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT UP WITH ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987 EVERYTHING ABOUT ELVIS Costello -his intelligent and prolific songwriting, impassioned singing, horn-rimmed visual image, ever-changing stylistic jaunts,even his anti-hero guitar playing -is so all-pervasive that his trio of sidemen, the Attractions, seems all but anonymous. (A magazine that just named Costello artist.of the year for 1986 only three years earlier misidentified the members of the Attractions in a photo caption.) But if Elvis is to be commended for his stylistic daring, the Attractions deserve equal praise for their ability to follow him down every idiomatic path, with their original fire and indelible individualism intact. Of all of Costello's talents, perhaps his strongest suit is as bandleader - not only for keeping a group together for a decade, but for choosing the musicians he did to make up his backing band. The Attractions have been together since 1977, in which time they've recorded 11 albums (plus a Best Of collection) since Elvis' debut, My Aim Is True. And night after night they have proved that at least one band (coincidentally virtually the only surviving band) from England’s punk era can play and always could. After recording his auspicious debut with uncredited backing from the American band Clover (including guitarist John McFee, currently with Southern Pacific), Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus settled on piamst Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas, and (no relation) bassist Bruce Thomas, after aluditioning, in the bassist's, words "hundreds of guys who couldn't tune up or put the guitar on right." The group's first effort, This Year's Model, not only squelched any fears of a,sophomore jinx; it kicked in with more muscle than Aim and signaled the arrival of a distinct new collective musical personality.

I flew back to the UK for the occasion. I went to their shows for three nights, twice to shoot and once for pleasure, and what a pleasure it was. I, and three old friends from college days, drank and rocked the night away. This band started my infatuation with rock’n’roll. By the time they hit the stage, Ian Hunter the lead singer was 70 – rock’n’roll really has grown up.

  • Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True
    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

    THE LOUISIANA CULTURAL ECONOMY: 2007 Status Report A report by Mt. Auburn Associates prepared for the: Office of the Lt. Governor Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism ~ Office of Cultural Development Louisiana Cultural Economy Initiative www.crt.state.la.us/culture 1 THE LOUISIANA CULTURAL ECONOMY: 2007 STATUS REPORT AN ACTION AGENDA FOR THE CULTURAL ECONOMY In 2004, Lt. Governor Landrieu launched the Cultural Economy Initiative. The goal was growing the Cultural Economy and furthering the development of the state’s unique cultural products. An initial Cultural Economy Summit was convened in December 2004, followed in August 2005 with the second Summit in which a strategy for building the cultural economy, Louisiana: Where Culture Means Business was presented. In the year-and-a-half that followed this report, the attention has been on planning and recovery. In New Orleans, a Cultural Plan, completed as part of the Bring New Orleans Back Commission, created new energy around cultural redevelopment. In other hurricane-impacted communities, the effort has been directed to normalizing operations for the many cultural organizations, as well as supporting the cultural talent and cultural enterprises affected by the storms. It is now time to revisit the Cultural Economy, take a snapshot of how the state’s cultural industries have been doing, lay out a new set of priorities for the state’s Cultural Economy, and develop an Action Plan for turning these priorities into reality. That is the purpose of this report. This report will focus not solely on recovery and hurricane-impacted communities, but in moving the entire Cultural Economy forward.
