Irish First press 1981. Record plays EX.
Released in 1981 and made up entirely of country covers, this was a left turn that confused some fans at the time but has aged into one of his most interesting detours. Produced by Billy Sherrill in Nashville, it has a polished but heartfelt feel, with Costello leaning into the melancholy and The Attractions keeping things tight and unfussy. Tracks like Good Year for the Roses and Sweet Dreams show just how well his voice suits the style. FFO: Gram Parsons, George Jones, Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris
