Album notes
Personnel: Elvis Costello (vocals, electric guitar, harmonica); James Burton (guitar); Marc Ribot (guitar, banjo); Larry Knechtel (piano, Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond organ); Jerry Scheff (bass); Jim Keltner, Pete Thomas (drums).
Recorded at Blue Wave Studios, Barbados. Includes liner notes by Elvis Costello.
Costello was always something of a musical sponge, soaking up an eclectic bunch of influences and assimilating them into an original vision that was fed by tradition but pointed straight to the future. Here he pays tribute to the musical heroes of his youth, with cover versions of songs both obscure and familiar. The accent is on blues and R&B, as EC tackles James Carr's anguished, soulful "Pouring Water on a Drowning Man" and Willie Dixon's vibrant "Hidden Charms." Along the way, Elvis redefines some of his favorite tunes by radically recasting them. Dylan's "I Threw it All Away" become a soul torch ballad. The Louvin Brothers' "Must You Throw Dirt in My Face" is turned into an R&B lament. Session monsters like Jim Keltner and James Burton inject the proper amount of grit into the proceedings, making this a surprisingly fresh-sounding walk through the American roots of one of Britain's finest singer-songwriters.

Editorial reviews
...an engaging detour....The songs here are largely obscurities; the impression is almost of random excerpts leaping from the pages of Costello's famously encyclopaedic knowledge of music...
Melody Maker  (05/27/1995)

3 Stars - Good - ...there are signs here that, should he find himself at 60, all fueling angers spent, Costello could be the man to mount the bar stool on a smoky club stage set and sing the great songs of the last 40 years the way Sinatra might have if he'd been born to the rock'n'roll generation.
Q  (06/01/1995)

3 stars out of 5 - Sincere and committed...
Mojo  

4 stars out of 5 - [A] first-rate oddity nobody noticed at the time....KOJAK VARIETY is a totally fascinating and essential spin.
Rolling Stone

General Comments & Philosophy :

As a rule, we do not list items that are beaten up, or in anything less than excellent condition...Some items are rare, and out of print, and we make allowances for that, if that is the case we will indicate that We always check out, clean up items..Primarily, we buy stock as if they were for ourselves, and sold to ourselves...and we like to get things in the mail FAST.. Please Note : We will not assume responsibility for items lost, or stolen or damaged after it leaves our hands. We wrap with great care, but we cannot take responsibility after that. Receipts are available for all items sent and paid for in advance....

Our Feedback Approach : First, let us say, we LOVE to do nothing more than give positive feedback ! There is nothing we prefer, than a happily completed transaction. But experience has shown us, that due to a small percentage of capricious buyers, we are compelled now, to WAIT until we have received positive feedback FIRST. Most of the negatives we have gotten have been after we graciously left positive words only to be whacked later. So, to insure a positive experience, we ask our buyers to step up to the plate first, and we promise to comply, ASAP, usually the same day.  If there IS some outstanding issue, or disappointment, we would hope you would ask questions, and see if there is a reasonable solution. The last thing we want are disgruntled Ebay buyers ! Also, before buying, be sure to check our impeccable feedback, the pulse of our success here. With the exception of a handful of demented shut-ins, our feedback would be perfect We value it as highly as gold..We pride ourselves on taking care of people, and bringing a sale to a successful conclusion..We also want to mention, we take great care and pride in packaging, and preparing an item for shipping. We wrap as well as possible; and we never 'sit' on an item, it goes out immediately, and most clients see their item in three or four days.

Finally : If you are an international bidder, please read this carefully: Due to the number of people who incorrectly bid on items, not realizing that they are, or are NOT PAL, or NTSC standard, based on the error they make, we cannot be responsible for this, when the items are clearly marked on all auctions. Be sure, in the heat of the moment, that you are bidding on a movie that can facilitate playing later on ! We don't want disillusioned, or frustrated winners. We will NOT issue returns or refunds on this error any longer. We thank you for your indulgence. We reserve the right to recall, cancel any bids from people with negative, or low feedback. We alert zero feedback people first, but reserve the right to cancel at any time. Good luck !
