Episode description

My Aim Is True is the 1977 debut album by Elvis Costello, marking the arrival of one of rock’s sharpest songwriters. Blending elements of punk, new wave, and pub rock, the album delivers a raw yet sophisticated sound, filled with biting lyrics and infectious melodies. Backed by the American band Clover (before forming his own group, The Attractions), Costello crafts anthems of love, anger, and rebellion with tracks like Alison, Watching the Detectives, and Less Than Zero. With its nervy energy and literate songwriting, My Aim Is True set the stage for Costello’s prolific and influential career.
