Similar to KOA are "National Ransom" and "Secret, Profane & Sugarcane".
Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own.
I was an early fan of Elvis, acquiring a UK pressing of his debut album upon it's release. I didn't care for the second nearly as much (I don't care for The Attractions, a minority opinion I know), and subsequent albums even less.
But his album King Of America is a completely different story. Great songs, and finally a band I like (to put it mildly) backing him. Plus the production of T Bone Burnett, one of my faves.
I just recently read that King Of America is also Elvis' own favorites of his. I thought I would post this thread today, 'cause, ya know.....😉

@onhwy61’s post makes obvious that in my response to @slaw’s comment, I should have included the qualifying "of the Elvis albums I’ve heard." I’ve heard far less of his than than those I have heard, but I read the reviews of every album he releases, which gives me a pretty good idea of at least the basic nature of each. Plus, I know exactly what to expect on those featuring The Attractions: Busy, "fussy", rushed playing. No groove, a shallow pocket. And Elvis' waaay over-the-top vibrato warbling. Can't stand it.
