2003 CD Jazzee Blue JBLUE CD03

The attached booklet reprints the lyrics to the song "Guitar Street" although this track (either in it's original 'Chris Rea' album version or re-recorded 'King Of The Beach' form) does not appear on the album.


With a Renewed Lease on Life, Chris Rea is Now Recording the Way He Has Always Said He Would. Last Year's Critically Acclaimed "Stony Road" was the First Fruit of this Vigor and "Blue Street" is Really It's Corallary. For this Set, Rea's Voice Sits Out Most of it and Concentrates Completely on his Guitar Playing on this Instrumental Set. The Results Simply Wonderful! all the Energy that is Usually Heard in his Expressive Vocal Tones Come Through Loud and Clear with Every Note Strummed. Only on "Still Going to a Go Go" Do the Chops Spring Into Action for Just a Few Lines. Longtime Fans (And Newcomers Alike) Will Really Marvel at the Musicianship and the Artistry Here. Rea Has Only Gotten Better Each Year Like Fine Wine and Since his Near Brush with the Grim Reaper, his Recordings Are Sharper in Focus and Absolutely Brilliant!

Liberated from the shackles of major-label demands and the strictures of other people's expectations, Chris Rea has nailed his newly unadulterated colours - the blues, of course - firmly to the mast on the eloquently tranquil jazz of Blue Street, the follow-up to his corner-turning personal exorcism Dancing Down the Stony Road and one of four simultaneous releases on his newly created and independently minded Jazzee Blue label. Unashamedly self-satisfying, as chilled-out as a cool pool on a baking summer's day and almost entirely instrumental (the vocals do finally appear on "Still Going to a Go Go", one of those time-honoured hoarse-throated cogitations on the way life deals the cards) this is another refined offering from a man who just loves the sweet, slow sounds of collectable vintage guitars and whose former role as the archdeacon of the drivetime adult-rock chorus seems strangely distant. Having broken-down on the road to hell's hard-shoulder (he had to sacrifice both his pancreas and duodenum in an emergency life-saving operation), Chris Rea seems to have found his own therapeutic salvation, for where Dancing Down the Stony Road featured tough and rugged blues from the school of hard knocks, Blue Street drifts by in a state of recumbent bliss.
