Elvis Costello is releasing a companion album to accompany his new memoir, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink , which will be released on October 13. The album will be available October 9. The autobiography “offers his unique view of his unlikely and sometimes comical rise to international success, with diversions through the previously undocumented emotional foundations of some of his best-known songs and the hits of tomorrow. It features many stories and observations about his renowned co-writers and co-conspirators, though Costello also pauses along the way for considerations of the less appealing side of fame,” according to Amazon. The soundtrack features previously unreleased singles (“April 5th,” recorded with Rosanne Cash and Kris Kristofferson and an early recording — pre My Aim is True fame — called “I Can’t Turn It Off”), “audio book sketches,” and a 28-page booklet featuring lyrics and photographs.
