I know this is a very long shot but I visited someones house and played an CD by EC.As this was well over four years ago I can't remember the albums name or track title.The song had a very rhymical relaxing slow DUM-DUM-DUM-DUM backing with a longer than normal intro and was perhaps a longer than usual song?! It was a gradual build up and then queitened down with soft singing voice!? The CD I seem to recall was a black cover with red title writing and a photo of half of EC's face! I know I should have written it down but you always think you'll remember! Any help would be appreciated.
Google ELVIS COSTELLO DISCOGRAPHY and scroll through the cover images. It could be "Almost Blue." You also can see cover images and listen to song clips on Amazon.com.
