''The King Who Sold His Own'' from Blue Guitars - Album Number One - Beginnings

Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 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 1½ years with a work schedule - according to Chris Rea himself - of twelve hours a day, seven days a week.

Initially the project was inspired by Bill Wyman's "Blues Odyssey" and can be called an "odyssey" in its own right, for depicting a journey through the various epochs of Blues Music, starting at its African origins and finishing with modern-time Blues from the 60s and 70s.

Subsequently the eleven CDs are titled the following: "Beginnings", "Country Blues", "Louisiana & New Orleans", "Electric Memphis Blues", "Texas Blues", "Chicago Blues", "Blues Ballads", "Gospel Soul Blues & Motown", "Celtic & Irish Blues", "Latin Blues" and "60s & 70s".

Lyrics:

One thousand stories, one thousand years

Each song it goes from hand to hand

They tell of kings, they sing of war

And the news of far off distant lands

They sing of how the blues came to be

Their own king sold them into slavery

The sad chords melt

Where the sadness came to be

When their own king sold them

Into slavery

One thousand stories, one thousand years

The truth of guilt and shame

But a king who sold his people out

To a world of whips and chains

The sound of pain the smell of fear

A treason born in hell

The king who sold his people out

It's a song they know so well

Cross the music, as you cross the sea

Cross your loved ones broken bones

Cos forever never to be free

Oh the king who sold his own ...

Oh the king who sold his own ...
