Elvis Costello – NEW YORK 1996 (2CD) Compact Disc Double
£10.99
SUPERB COLLECTION OF ODDITIES & RARITIES CENTRED AROUND ALMOST BLUEAlmost Blue, the sixth studio album by Elvis Costello, was recorded in May 1981 in Nashville, Tennessee, and released in October the same year. A departure from Costello’s previous works, it is a covers collection composed entirely of country music songs, including works written by Hank Williams and George Jones. The project originated with Costello’s desire to record a collection of covers after his two previous studio albums commercially underperformed.Produced by Billy Sherrill, the recording sessions were marked by a fraught atmosphere, including resistance from Sherrill himself. Costello’s poor health during recording and troubled personal life reflected in the song choices. All of the tracks express a “blue” state of mind, reflected in the cover artwork, an homage to jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell’s Midnight Blue.
