Almost Blue is a song written and performed by Elvis Costello that’s included on his 1982 album Imperial Bedroom. Some say it was inspired by Chet Baker’s version of the song The Thrill Is Gone. Chet recorded the song for Bruce Weber’s documentary film: Let’s Get Lost (1988) — about Baker’s life. Baker also performed the song at concerts and it was recorded for his last live and most acclaimed album: Chet Baker in Tokyo.

The song evokes melancholic and romantic feelings as in most of Chet’s songs.
