Chris Rea- THE BLUE JUKEBOX- CD- 2004- Jazzee Blue/Edel Records GmbH- 4029758534120- 400 grn
THE BLUE JUKEBOX is the twentieth studio album by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released on 22nd March 2004 by his independent record label Jazzee Blue. The cover artwork is inspired by Edward Hopper's Nighthawks painting. Compared to the Dancing Down The Stony Road has a smoother and jazzier take on the blues. It is Rea's fourth studio album released since the founding of his independent record label Jazzee Blue in 2002. Yes it is Blues! Blues, saxophone, slide guitars, a jazzy feel are the key ingredients to this very fine album, considering Chris Rea wrote all the songs. It starts a bit slow but takes off well and towards the end you feel totally into it. You find hints of Leonard Cohen in several songs. If you don't count the solely instrumental Hofner Blue Notes album, this is a very fine album, and for certain it's Rea's best since On The Beach, which had been a long time. This time, the rather "forced" feel that made most of Stony Road suffer a bit, gave way to a very relaxed, jazzy mood. And, most of all, the songs are fabulous, especially "Steel River Blues", "Baby Don't Cry", "Speed" and, most outstanding, "Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road". So Chris is a blues-artist now, and with that extra-shot of jazz it's more than fine with us. When songs are rather simple, it all depends on the feel and the way they are being executed. One can easily bore you if it's not done quite right. But one can also make you an addict if able to do it right. THE BLUE JUKEBOX is bluesy, dreamy and better than ever before.
PERSONNEL: Chris Rea – vocals, acoustic piano, slide guitar, bottleneck guitar, harmonica, electric bass; Robert Ahwai – rhythm guitars; Sylvin Marc – double bass; Thierry Chauvet-Peillux – drums; Eric Seva – saxophone.
On this album, not all of the songs are so simple, but all of the songs have been executed in a brilliant manner throughout, and that's what's hovering tracks like "Speed" and "Baby Don't Cry" far above the average. "Speed" is developing such a haunting drive, it can make you go nuts for joy. It's a rather simple composition but not a second of boredom. You just get into the groove and want it to stay. "Baby Don't Cry" does the very same thing in a more reflective mood. It's soulfully captivating with those female backing vocals so sensitively added it sends you shivers up and down your spine. This can only be achieved with great musicianship and lots of care for the details. That's what's making stuff like "Let's Do It" or "Let It Roll" the same sheer pleasure to listen to, it's the way they've been delivered. Rea's guitar-playing never sounded better. There's so much care and love and potency that went into these arrangements and performances you can't help but love them. In a way, this album shows that Rea can easily stand face to face with best works of JJ Cale. Though all of the songs are quite good, all of them together make the album a bit too long to listen through in one go. It's got that blue mood all over in spite of its up-beat-"frame" with "The Beat Goes On" and "Speed", and you've just got to be in that mood. But that doesn't make THE BLUE JUKEBOX less brilliant.
