Description

Extreme Honey: The Very Best of Warner Brothers Years (1997) is a compilation album by Elvis Costello, spanning the years 19891997. This double album is a good way to become acquainted with Costellos nineties output. There are a number of hits and singles (Veronica, So Like Candy, Sulky Girl, 13 Steps Lead Down, The Other Side of Summer), spiced up by album tracks from the same period.

There are a number of great moments here, whether its the lilting The Birds Will Still Be Singing from the underrated Juliet Letters [MOVLP1089] or the New Orleans-inflected Deep Dark Truthful Mirror. Extreme Honey also contains My Dark Life, Costellos collaboration with Brian Eno (originally featured on The X-Files soundtrack), and the new track The Bridge I Burned, a neo-psychedelic/trip-hop number constructed from backing tapes recorded with his son and Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey.

This essential Elvis Costello compilation is available on vinyl for the first time!
