 The first version of PAINTED FROM MEMORY that I heard was by a Dutch singer called Trijntje Oosterhuis. I may have mis-spelled her first name. She did a whole album of Bacharach tunes. Or two. You might like her version of the song better in any event.

It's not that this is a terrible CD, far from it. But after you take in the delightful, yet slightly jazzy backdrop, there's a couple of major problems. Elvis Costello is not blessed with the greatest singing voice. It’s not his fault, just the way nature planned it. But in many of the musical situations on “Painted From Memory”, a solid vocalist is essential to the overall enjoyment. Here, Elvis’ voice begins to get stretched beyond its normal limits. I’ll give him this though, he does his very best and at times, like in “God Give Me Strength” actually turns it into an asset. The melodies, all written by Burt Bacharach, are not nearly as jaunty or as easy to like as “Do You Know The Way To San Jose” or “I Say A Little Prayer” or for that matter most of his better known work. It's a little like many Joni Mitchell albums in that you need to hear it more than once or twice to get familiarized with it. That's the dodgy part. The good news is that there actually seems to be some common ground between Bacharach, a 1960's easy listening icon, and Costello who is an equal icon of the post punk/new wave era. Old meets new with interesting, although definitely mixed, results.
