Title: a dream come true for Bacharach and Costello fans
Review: For those of us who carried the torch unswervingly for both Burt and Elvis all these years, Painted From Memory can be nothing less than a complete dream come true. As marvelous as they both are, the sum of this album is truly more than the parts combined. Listen and hear both the pithiness of Costello and the sentiment of Bacharach combined and balanced, to exquisite effect.Though you can hear Elvis reaching sometimes to hit some of Burt's more demanding notes, it makes the reading of it even more poignant. On "Toledo," you can almost hear Dionne singing it already.
