Background
having already established himself as, in biographer Graeme Thomson's words, "the finest songwriter among his peers."- this is quite a stong statement to be supported only by a single biographer's statement, even one as well-regarded as Thomson.
acoustic demos of several standards during the previous months, including "Gloomy Sunday" and Cole Porter's "Love for Sale", Costello devised an album of cover versions to test himself as a singer and interpreterseems a bit too close a paraphrasing of the source's

Development
Sherrill also convinced Costello to record his own song "Too Far Gone"- as several covers have been mentioned, could this make readers think that "Too Far Gone" was a Sherrill composition?
Production
and was constantly drinking, which led to the recording of Haggard's "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" and Rich's "Sittin' and Thinkin"- seems worth expanding on, if sources allow.
Sherrill acted as a poor producer.- not a great phrasing - looks like this is from Costello's own account so I think should be identifed as such in the text.
His piano playing, in particular, stands out amongst the album- feels like this view should be attributed
Packaging and artwork
Release
they could not take a piano onto the wood floor of the saloon so Nieve was forced to mime the string parts using a violin- I'm not sure "was forced" is right; presumably he did this as something other than playing piano, but there mut have been other options.
