Chris Rea- THE ROAD TO HELL & BACK- CD- 2006-
- Jazzee Blue/Navybeck Ltd./Polydor Ltd. UK/Universal Music Company- 602517059603- 400 grn
THE ROAD TO HELL & BACK is a live album by Chris Rea, which was released on 1st October 2006. All music recorded on tour in Netherlands, Southern Europe, Russia and England. Excellent live album recorded on his mammoth Farewell Tour of 2005. Following prolonged bouts of ill health in recent years, Chris Rea's career has taken some radical turns. Most significant has been his decision to stop performing under the name Chris Rea and work as part of a band called The Fireflies. THE ROAD TO HELL & BACK is made up of performances from the subsequent Farewell Tour, and represents not only Rea's first live album but his last. Fortunately it captures this long-serving 'musician's musician' at his zenith. His shows at Warsaw Sala Kongresawa, The Brighton Centre and the Moscow Kremlin Palace have become stuff of legend among fans, and here his biggest hits are collected together with his high calibre recent recordings. This songs are all played and sung with inevitable aplomb, but also with a surprising vitality for a man in his fifties with an ongoing illness and 25 years of industry experience behind him. After his illness, Rea also decided to become the blues musician he always wanted to be. On the live recording of this tour we hear new versions of all those typical eighties hits. He lets that resonate in the individual arrangements and in his drawn-out guitar solos. But it all remains atmospheric, while the extra grain on his lazy and dark gritty voice only enhances the melancholic tone of his songs. The sleeve announces The Memphis Fireflies, Rea's new group, but fortunately we have not lost this honest artist.

Chris Rea was a rock star with the sort of gravel voice that was ideally suited to singing the blues, or was he a blues star who occasionally lent his talent to performing rock. THE ROAD TO HELL & BACK was his 28th album in total including five different greatest-hits, but was his first live album. All the tracks show a tight, together band, the Fireflies led by Chris Rea, not in the best of health but enjoying performing to appreciative, sometimes too polite audiences, who applaud in all the right places. Opening the set with a Jools Holland type of boogie-woogie with the track "Jazzy Blue", the band, almost as if in keeping with the politeness of the audiences, play a minimalist set, almost acoustic. "Josephine" takes almost four minutes to warm up, and "Stony Road" chugs slowly along until the guitar breaks in after nearly three minutes, but the tracks are given time to mature and develop. Both "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat" with its Dire Straits type guitar licks, and the two parts of "The Road To Hell" are over ten minutes each and "Stainsby Girls" and "Somewhere Between Highway 61 And 49" are both extended to over eight minutes. The former showing that the band can most definitely rock, and the latter giving the blues a chance to really grind the audience into believing they could really be somewhere in the Mississippi Delta instead of the Moscow Kremlin Palace watching a man from Middlesbrough, a town in the North East of England.
