Chris Rea - Blue Street (Five Guitars) (2003)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 13 Jan 2024 21:52:03

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.
