In the early years of his career, he gained recognition as part of the group Elvis Costello & The Attractions. However, in 1996, the band recorded their last album and underwent some lineup changes. They reformed in 2002 with a new bassist and adopted a new name: The Imposters.
Throughout his career, Elvis Costello has been known for his diverse musical style and thought-provoking lyrics. His talent has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. In addition to his music career, he is also recognized for his marriage to Diana Krall since 2003.

New Wave / Post Punk

Get Happy!! was born as much from sincere love for soul as it was for Elvis Costello's desire to distance himself from an unfortunate verbal faux pas where he insulted Ray Charles in an attempt to get Stephen Stills' goat. Either way, it resulted in a 20-song blue-eyed soul tour de force, where Costello doesn't just want to prove his love, he wants to prove his knowledge. So, he tries everything, starting with Motown and Northern soul, then touching on smooth uptown ballads and gritty Southern soul, even finding common ground between the two by recasting Sam &amp; Dave's "I Can't Stand Up (For Falling Down)" as a careening stomper.
