Elvis Costello - 1981-12-31 - New York, NY (SBD)

For our 2nd New Year's Ever post today, we bring you a soundboard recording from elvis Costello at the Palladium in New York on December 31, 1981, 32 years ago today! Costello had actually released 2 albums that year, Trust in January and Almost Blue in May.  While the first disc reflected many of the punk, new wave and power pop sensibilities of his earlier work, the latter album was a complete departure from previous form.  Almost Blue consisted entirely of country covers, including works originally written by Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Gram Parsons.  It was just one of the many twists and turns, emcompassing various musical styles, in the careerof teh man born Declan Patrick Aloysius Macmanus.
