Almost Blue
''Almost Blue'' is an album by Elvis Costello and the Attractions. It was recorded May 1981 in Nashville, and released on 23 October 1981. The record's songs consist entirely of country covers, including works originally written by Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Gram Parsons. It was Costello's first album not to be produced by Nick Lowe. Contemporary critical reaction to ''Almost Blue'' was mixed, with Trouser Press labelling the album "surprisingly clumsy" and "a dud", while Robert Christgau gave it a grade of B- and Rolling Stone gave it an overall positive three-star review. In recent years, Allmusic rated it favourably, and Rhapsody praised the album, calling it one of their favourite cover version albums.〔(Rhapsody’s Favorite Covers Albums ) Referenced 1 August 2010〕 ==Packaging and artwork== Album cover was designed by Barney Bubbles. The design is an homage to the 1963 Blue Note album ''Midnight Blue'' by Kenny Burrell. Many versions of the artwork were made, with slightly different base colours. It originally appeared with a warning label that read "WARNING: This album contains country & western music and may cause offence to narrow minded listeners". An alternative label read "WARNING! This album contains country & western music and may produce radical reaction in narrow minded people".
