''Painted from Memory'' is a collaboration between Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach. It was released 29 September 1998 on Mercury Records, a division of Universal Music Group. The collaboration commenced with "God Give Me Strength", a commission for the 1996 film ''Grace of My Heart'', directed by Allison Anders, starring Illeana Douglas, with lead vocals by Kristen Vigard. Apparently pleased with the result, the pair expanded the project to this full album, the first for Costello after an absence of two years, and for Bacharach after an absence of 21 years. Lyrics and music are co-credited to both Bacharach and Costello. A companion album, ''The Sweetest Punch'', was made concurrently by jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, released in 1999 on another Universal label, Decca Records. It consists of jazz arrangements of the ''Painted From Memory'' songs done by Frisell and his studio group. It features vocals by Costello on two songs, and by jazz singer Cassandra Wilson on two songs, one of which is a duet employing both. Costello had long been a Bacharach fan, and had recorded several Bacharach songs, beginning with "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself," released on a 1978 Stiff Records compilation ''Live Stiffs Live''. Costello would also cover "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" for the soundtrack to ''Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me''. "I Still Have That Other Girl" won a Grammy Award in 1998 for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" for Bacharach and Costello. ==Track listing== All songs written by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach. #"In the Darkest Place" – 4:19 #"Toledo" – 4:35 #"I Still Have That Other Girl" – 2:46 #"This House Is Empty Now" – 5:10 #"Tears at the Birthday Party" – 4:38 #"Such Unlikely Lovers" – 3:24 #"My Thief" – 4:20 #"The Long Division" – 4:15 #"Painted from Memory" – 4:12 #"The Sweetest Punch" – 4:09 #"What's Her Name Today?" – 4:08 #"God Give Me Strength" – 6:11 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Painted from Memory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
