Chris Rea - Cool Cool Blue Blue Guitars Album (60's &70's) 2005.
Amazing, Cool Cool, Blue Greece........Come And...Take It Easy...
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 Eleven - '60s and '70s
A new time, a new generation, a new variation of the Blues. Things had started changing once again and once again, the whole 200-year-history of the Blues was thrown over in the split of a second, when Blues suddenly started to sound old again, respect was paid to the ancestors of modern Blues music, but there was also Woodstock, the Flower Power Movement, all those kinds of currencies that were interpreting the Blues in their own way and cave it a new face.
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Born a fighter
With a broken heart
So many time you try
You try to make a brand new start
So many tears go by
Before you realise
Well chasing too high
Will only make you cry
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy
I met an angel one time
Showed me another way
She had a different kind of thinking
So I listened what she say
She say you always fighting to break free
You always crashing around
It's your own crazy dream of freedom
That's what keeps you chained and bound
Why don't you be cool cool blue
Take it easy
Cool cool blue
Take it easy
Sometimes it ain't worth what you gotta do
Sometimes it ain't worth what
you gotta put yourself through
Take it easy
Take it easy
You got to be cool cool blue
Take it easy ...
