Chris Rea - Blue GuitarsChris releases a collection of eleven CDs, a DVD of
"Dancing Down The Stony Road" and a collection of his paintings, plus photographic and written insights into the journey that
spanned the creation of this epic release, all bound in a wonderful deluxe book package. The idea was to create an all-encompassing
body of artistic work keeping pace with his new-found output and also his desire to approach things in a different and interesting
way. As Chris aptly sums up: "Blue Guitars" is something I have loved to create, and has been eighteen months, seven days a
week, twelve hours a day in the making and I have enjoyed every single second of it. The research, the recording, the writing has
inspired me and I hope the enjoyment and fun I have had comes across. "Although I have been inspired by the blues, this is not a
series of albums that is meant to educate. This is a collection of songs that, even if you have never even thought of the blues as
being close to your heart, you can still enjoy because the roots of Motown right through to metal have their roots somewhere in the
blues. I hope you enjoy it." The eleven CDs are titled as follows: "Beginnings"; "Country Blues"; "Louisiana and New Orleans";
"Electric Memphis Blues"; "Texas Blues"; "Chicago Blues"; "Blues Ballads"; "Gospel Soul Blues and Motown"; "Celtic and Irish Blues";
"Latin Blues" and finally 60's and 70's. |
