Chris Rea "Dancing Down The Stony Road", Mortality, and Inspiration in the Face of Fear.

In 2001 Rea was struck down with a severe case of Pancreatitis, later revealed to have been cancerous. The operation that he went in for only assured him a 50% chance of survival.

He has stated in interviews since that he swore to himself before the operation that if he survived he would return to his blues roots and pack in the commercial rock business. Needless to say the man survived, and Dancing Down The Stony Road was the resulting masterpiece.

Chris Rea's obsession with the Delta blues is heavily prevalent in this album. He uses his exceptional slide guitar playing to great effect, his vocals are deep and charred (emphasizing the blues themes in his writing), and the production raw and sparse.

Chris Rea: "I've loved Studio MIRAVAL for quite a while because it has a completely different atmosphere from all those high-tech studios. For example, for years they've been collecting fantastic microphones that you can't buy anywhere else any more. As a consequence, they're hardly available in other studios. And then, the heat and the landscape there, well, you know - it's almost like being way down South...

Lyrics:

Someday

My peace will come

Oh I know

My peace will come

I will sleep like a child without pain

Without fear

Like a smile in the afternoon sun

Oh someday

My peace will come

Lord can you hear me

Oh I know you know my name

It's written in the tears

That flow from my pain

Broken hearted broken soul

All my life on the run

But someday

Yeah someday

My peace will come

Someday

My peace will come.
