Chris Rea Blue Guitars Album 4(Electric Memphis Blues)(mp3 320 kbs)ICM369
_______________________________________________________________
Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14th 2005
consisting of eleven CDs, one DVD and a full colour book, including paintings
by the artist, liner notes and song lyrics.
The album is an ambitious project with the 137 songs recorded over the course
of 1 1/2 years with a work schedule - according to Chris Rea himself - of
twelve hours a day, seven days a week.
The collection is the fifth and last release in a line of Blues recordings
Chris Rea has made since recovering from a serious disease at the turn of the
millennium and promising himself a return to his Bluesy roots in the event that
he survived.
According to Rea "Blue Guitars" will be his last solo effort; however, he will
continue to release albums as a member of the band "Memphis Fireflies".
Albums
The eleven separate records which comprise "Blue Guitars" could as well stand on
their own; in combination, however, they provide a journey through the different
epochs of the Blues, showing the various components that have been added to the
original African Blues over time, the changes in instrumentation, style, lyrical
expression and thematic implications.
Thereby Chris Rea and his band imitate the various styles and lyrical topics,
creating an instantly recognisable atmosphere on each record, with the first few
songs usually setting up the direction in which the record is going and then
developing to various styles within the field of each record.

Album Number Four - Electric Memphis Blues
__________________________________________
The title says it all, Going Electric, that's what this album is about, and what a
change it was for the Blues and Blues Musicians, finally they could make themselves
heard among the loud crowds and stuffed places, they usually used to play.
It was a tremendous change in the way, the Blues could be approached, fine and
subtle figures and fine chord structures could suddenly be played, the Blues was
rising to previously unbeknown heights: "Now I can play above the bar noise, Man
I'm bigger than a crowd as Rea states in the opener Electric Guitar, which perfectly
paraphrases, what musicians must have felt, after this milestone revolution.
Nor did it stop at the guitars organs, pianos, keyboards, all was going electric,
studios started to play around with the new electric sound, the possibilities
seemed endless.
