Elvis Costello Online
Huge! Up to the minute news, chat rooms, mp3's and even there own merchandise. Perhaps the biggest and best online collection in the Elvis universe.

The Elvis Costello Homepage
Another huge Elvis site!! Discography, gigography, concert reviews, trading and even tablature. It's really a toss up on these top two, you make the call!

Painted from Memory
Costello graces us with his distinctive ( and somewhat froggy) voice, which adds to the emotional depth of the songs, and he's a masterful storyteller.
