My Aim Is True with Richard Crouse
Manage episode 335098955 series 3007391
22 July 2022 is the 45th anniversary of Elvis Costello’s acclaimed debut album, My Aim Is True.
Married father-of-one, Declan MacManus, was a computer operator from London and a prolific aspiring songwriter.
Signed to Stiff Records, MacManus cut his first professional album at Pathway Studios, backed by Clover and produced by Nick Lowe. He never looked back.
In this special episode to mark 45 years of My Aim Is True, I’m joined by author, TV presenter and radio host, Richard Crouse. A lifelong Costello fan, Richard wrote the definitive book about EC’s debut album, Elvis is King, Costello’s My Aim Is True.
We discuss the impact of the record, its place in the Costello canon and we go through the album track-by track.
