Chris Rea - Deep Winter Blues, "Blue Guitars" Album Number Seven (Blues Ballads)

Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 2005 consisting of eleven CD's, 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 CD's 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".

Album Number Seven - Blues Ballads

With the incorporation of the piano and other new elements, such as swing and jazz, according to Chris Rea a somehow "sleepy morphine-induced style" came to be, which is a pretty accurate description of those Blues Ballads. The original, primitive influences are no longer recognizable, replaced by a calmer, smoother, more polished, yet nonetheless still recognizable, style of Blues. All that constituted the Blues in the past is still there.

Freezin' rain

That blows straight through

Your busted soul

Fast food stinks

And hangs in your coat

As you try to take refuge

From the brutal cold

There's a place down south

Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face

Standing in freezing shoes

Me and you

With the deep winter blues

Steam on the main street

Snow on the side street

Ice on the metal stairs

Don't wanna take a shower

Too cold for a bath

Sometimes you'll find you don't even care

There's a place down south

Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face

Standing in freezing shoes

Me and you

With the deep winter blues

Deep winter blues

This cold is killing everyone

There's a smile in your memory

That whispers like a hurricane

Is your life becoming

Just a fight to get out of the freezing snow and rain?

Oh there's a place down south

Where a warm sea breeze kisses your face

Standing in freezing shoes

Me and you

With the deep winter blues

Deep winter blues ...
