Just catching up with some of the recent press coverage accompanying the U.K. release of “Anyone Who Had a Heart.”

First off, Mick Brown of the Telegraph had a marvelous, candid interview with Burt that surveys his entire career.

The Daily Express’ Sandro Monetti had this interview with Burt and the newspaper also included this nice interview with Burt’s collaborator Elvis Costello on what Bacharach has meant to him as a songwriter and what it was like working with the legendary composer.

Finally, the Daily Record featured this interview with Burt in which he talks about the state of the recording industry and the rigors of book promotion.

Burt is currently in the midst of a European tour that kicked off on June 14 in Sweden. Beginning this evening, June 20, he’ll perform three concerts in Italy before heading to the U.K. for five shows between June 26 and July 7 (with a one-off in Israel sandwiched in between).
