National Ransom is one of the best albums produced by Elvis Costello in recent years. As usual, there is in a bit 'of everything from the country of "That's Not Part of the You're Leaving Him" \u200b\u200bto the rock'n'roll of "The Spell That You Cast". It 's a hard dense, long, layered, eclectic.
mix genres and styles, it is true, was a prerogative of Costello from the start in 1977 with My Aim Is True , but here we are in the "heart of America" \u200b\u200bin Nashville, under the supervision of the brilliant T-Bone Burnett, and then this disc (double, with the intention of the author) looks like an anthology of modern American popular music, with acoustic soul and body rock, written with sophistication and structured with great professionalism.
Some of the musicians who participated in the registrations, Pete Thomas, Steve Nieve, Marc Ribot, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Leon Russell, representing, in turn, pieces of music history of Costello are the "new" mixed Sugarcanes Attractions and Imposters to the old, and the miracle is that work brilliantly.
National Ransom is a work of great ambition, but it is sincere: frequent changes of register and atmosphere do not disturb, as they were, however, in recent work dell'Elvis with glasses, for the first time in many years, the artist has found the right balance between his love and his moods.
