About this album
My Aim Is True is the breakthrough debut that introduced Elvis Costello as one of rock’s sharpest new voices. Issued in 1977, the album paired new wave urgency with classic rock and roll economy and power-pop melody, making its directness feel both fresh and literate. Backed by the Attractions’ future key players on much of the record and produced by Nick Lowe, it delivered enduring songs such as Alison, (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes and Less Than Zero. Its clipped phrasing, sardonic humour and emotional bite helped define late-1970s British rock and established Costello as a major songwriter from the outset.
