  • Almost Blue is an LP by Elvis Costello & The Attractions from 1981 released on the F-Beat label.

    About this album

    Almost Blue is Elvis Costello & The Attractions at their most unexpectedly disciplined and revealing, turning towards country music without losing Costello’s bite or the band’s precision. Issued in 1981, the album reworks songs by writers such as Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Gram Parsons, with Costello’s voice set against lean, unfussy arrangements that foreground ache, wit and restraint. Rather than a novelty detour, it became one of his most discussed albums, showing how far his writing persona could stretch when the material was chosen for emotional directness. Its mix of reverence and reinvention helped make the record a key part of his early catalogue.

    Genre: Pop & Rock
