ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS "almost blue"
sixth album.
a country covers set.
mostly obscure tunes, especially to the UKer's who were never big on the genre
and on that basis it really could have been commercial suicide but it wasn't,
fans embraced it becoming his second biggest seller to date,
also contained his third most successful single to date in the George Jones cover
of Good Year For The Roses.
album sounds pretty relaxed and not forced, just like Declan and band belong there.
a very good album, but then again when has he not released a good album
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Good Year For The Roses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hBWBVVFA4c video
