Elvis Costello & The Attractions are playing three special concerts to showcase material from their much-<wbr>publicised C&W album ''Almost Blue'', which was recorded in Nashville during the spring and finally sees the light of day tomorrow (Friday) on F-Beat Records.

Costello will be the first rock star to appear at the Albert Hall since the ill-fated Frank Zappa show, though the actual rock 'n' roll content is likely to be minimal — the first half will be devoted to country music and, in the second set, Elvis will perform with the 86-piece RPO. The material in this second half will be varied but, said a spokesman, "will be maximized to use the full scope of the orchestra." | Costello will be the first rock star to appear at the Albert Hall since the ill-fated Frank Zappa show, though the actual rock 'n' roll content is likely to be minimal — the first half will be devoted to country music and, in the second set, Elvis will perform with the 86-piece RPO.
