"Chris
Rea has now turned his awesome talent to his first love, the blues,
which he performs with the eerie, haunting, soulful beauty that is
unique to him."
Fran Leslie, Blues in Britain
"
. a cathartic journey marinated in the Blues, with Rea's keening
slide guitar to the fore -
. that Rea has created an original
Blues album comes as no surpise to longterm followers - after all
his gruff vocal style, intense slide guitar and grip on Real Life
issues were not so much hints as neon signposts
"
Pete Sargent, Blues Matters
"These
twenty cathartic songs define the very essence of Chris Rea as master
songwriter and true bluesman. His soul laid bare, this is unequivocally
the most honest and accomplished work of his career."
Colin Palmer, Rock 'n Reel
"An
immensely moving musical journey into one man's heart and soul"
Tim Cooper, Mail on Sunday

with his rough voice and his slide-guitar he is producing a sparce
blues. So well, that EricClapton should be jealous."

harmonica, fiddle and a lot of bottleneck guitar STONY ROAD meets
the demands of even conservative popes of the blues."

ROAD totally depends on its vividness."

British singer and slide-guitar-player put all the thoughts and feelings
of this time into a thoughtful album, which showed nothing any more
of the sweet pop of bygone years - only his husky voice, which seems
to have been specially made for the original blues-pattern."
