4.0 out of 5 stars Rea really good, October 12, 2000

This review is from: Blue Cafe (Audio CD)

From the opening track Square Peg Round Hole, there is a scent in the air that Chris Rea still knows how to punch out a great tune. With his trademark gravelly vocals and superb slide guitar, you know that Rea can always deliver. With songs such as On The Beach and Let's Dance, Chris Rea found success, using simple melodies and riffs to create wonderful music. The Blue Cafe is no different - from the slide guitar on As Long As I Have Your Love to the upbeat rhythm of the title track, Chris Rea still performs excellently. Highlights of the album include the riffy Square Peg, the Bond-esque strings of Shadows Of The Big Man and even the solo of Thinking Of You will make the most earnest toe tap. It is true that this album, whilst being musically terrific, also has something for everyone, so it would be hard not to like this if you aren't a fan already!! Definite entertainment.

I have most of REA's CD's and bought this in germany, because it was on special. I had lost sight of him after the "GREATEST HITS"
collection and I don't think his newer output was released in AUSTRALIA. ( SHAME ) This is a great CD from a true master. Great songs, great guitar playing and not a bad track amongst them. From rock to blues to ballads, this has it all and they are all excellent. I liked it the first time I heard it, now I love it. And it is still getting better. If you like REA or his style of music, you must buy this.

Angel's gal fm Wales was right on with this except I'd give it a 5. This guy is terrific and while some of his prior work is better than others this demonstrates he still has it after 21+ years. If a fan you will be able to play it over and over and never tire of it. Go Chris
