King Of America
King of America is the tenth album by Elvis Costello, originally released on 21 February 1986. Co-produced by Costello and T Bone Burnett, the album originated following a series of tours the two made under the name "the Coward Brothers". This plunge into blues and roots Americana stands with This Year's Model and Imperial Bedroom as Costello's greatest work.
The collection is anchored by CD1: a new 2024 remaster of the album King Of America from the original master tapes.
CD2 is a collection of songs featuring studio recordings, previously unreleased demos, outtakes and live recordings from this wild and wonderfully odd odyssey.
*Live in London, UK, Royal Albert Hall / January 27, 1987
