Chris Rea Blue Guitars Album 5(Texas 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 Five - Texas Blues
_______________________________
And yet another direction, the Blues was morphing into. Take the basic concept,
move it into the "modern wild west" and what you get out of it is straightforward
Texas Blues.
It's all in there, endless highways, run-down trucker bars, oil, dirt, cowboy boots,
stories about life on the move, all down in Texas, all just as sad as the original
Blues (Lone Star Boogie, No Wheels Blues). The mixture of the basic Blues concept
with more country and western styled instruments (slide guitars, harmonica) gave the
Blues a rawer, yet again still instantly recognizable sound, which has played a major
role in music ever since - go Stevie Vaughan and ZZ Top!!
I still remember, the place we used to go, dreaming dreams of Texas, as we pushed
hard through the snow" - Chris Rea
