Chris Rea - 'Til I Find My True Love's Name Blue Guitars - Celtic & Irish Blues (Disc 9) 2005.
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".
The collection is the fifth and last release in a line of Blues recordings Chris Rea has made since recovering from a serious disease at the turn of the millennium and promising himself a return to his Bluesy roots in the event that he survived.
Album Number Nine - Celtic & Irish Blues
The Blues went in yet another direction, when it started to mingle with Celtic and Scottish/Irish influences, forming still another hybrid. The general feeling of sadness, loss and blues, which is inherent in the Scottish, Irish and Celtic roots anyway, together with an all new instrumentation could lay the basis for a different kind of approach, giving the Blues the typical Celtic feel.

Ride the wind
Ride the rain
Steal the thunder
Take the pain
Keep it burning
keep the flame
'Til I find my true love's name
Twelve wild angels
Sing this song
Into forever
They drag me on
Lashed with leather hurricanes
'Til I find my true love's name
This path of hailstones
Is easy to choose
Without a lover
There's nothing to lose
My wrists may bleed
But nothing will change
'Til I find my true love's name
Still I smile and I go on
Let the Devil sing his fearful song
I will not rest
I will not be chained
'Til i find my true
Oh 'til I find my true
Oh 'til I find my true love's name ...
