I must admit to being a dedicated fan of Chris Rea for many years and had not heard anything from this group at all. I came across the collection purely by chance and decided to give it a try. It has three Cd's and two vinyl albums. Have not heard the vinyl as yet but the first of the three cd's is instrumental and takes you back to an earlier time in rock where the feel of the beat and the sound was all important. It is fantastic. The next two cd's are a variety of rocky and bluesy tracks which are equally as good. On top of that you have the bonus of being able to read this very good quality book. A very good collection from quality muso's.

This three cd packet of music delivers just like all of Chris Rea's music. His last endeavor of 11 cds of music on the history of the blues is a must in any collection of the blues. If you have not discovered Chris', then buy this bundle of extremely enjoyable music. He includes three LPs in the packet as well. His writing, singing and total professionalism have always come through into his music. Buy this and any other work he has done. His voice is a credit to the blues as is his mastery of many instruments that he plays on many of his cds. The total performer. If you like Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton, then you will enjoy Chris Rea.

Love the whole package, 2 vinyl albums,3 cd's, beautiful photographs of old and new, the paintings, history, very nostalgic. Pure pleasure to listen to, refreshing. The Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes... can't wait to hear more.

I miss the old jazzy CR. While this is mostly blues, there is some jazzy stuff ala "King of the Beach". Only wish there was a little more.
