Music journalist Allison Rapp has written extensively about Elvis Costello’s music.

She’s reviewed a wide variety of EC gigs, including 2023’s residency at the Gramercy Theatre in New York, and a memorable performance at the opening of the Bob Dylan Center. Allison also revisited My Aim Is True on the 45th anniversary of its release for Ultimate Classic Rock.

In this episode, Allison tells me how she became a Costello fan, picks six of her favourite songs for the playlist and reveals the live show she’d love to see Elvis perform.

You can read Allison’s articles about Costello – plus interviews with the likes of Bill Frisell, Roger McGuinn and Billy Bragg – on her website.
