Sending thoughts to Elvis Costello as he breaks his tour to get treatment for cancer and after direction from his doctor to take a break (sic!)

again . . . bought this when it came out . . . . .although I had taken a break from buying everything 'Almost Blue' of 1981 was the exception . . . . . this one written by Jerry Chesnutt for George Jones






All seems to have gone really well with a small but very aggressive cancer that has been operated on and Elvis himself is reported the the Press Association as saying:

“We will return at the soonest opportunity to play that music and your favourite songs that still make sense to us all.
“Take very good care of your loved ones but gentleman, do talk to your friends – you’ll find you are not alone. Seek your doctor’s advice if you are in doubt or when it is timely, and act as swiftly as you may in these matters. It may save your life. Believe me, it is better than playing roulette.”
