TMR Music Review: Elvis Costello - Secret, Profane & Sugarcane

Are Elvis Costello fans thrilled by his predilection for genre-jumping? Or do they find it maddening? To be certain, no one listening to My Aim Is True in the late ‘70s could have predicted that the dweebish punk heard on that record would routinely take time out from rock ‘n’ roll to compose classical music, take a stab at jazz, or completely immerse himself in old-school country music as he does on his latest release, Secret, Profane & Sugarcane.
