Chris Rea - Are You Ready? (Blue Guitars, Album Gospel Soul Blues & Motown)
Blue Guitars 2005 Album Number Eight - Gospel Soul Blues & Motown.
While the basic structures and rhythms of the Blues remained true to the original, still a new generation moved the Blues onwards, banjo style played on electric guitar became the electric “sitar“, the sound hit the nerve of the Indy/Hippie generation, instantly recognizable: Tamla Motown. Softer and easier accessible than previous hybrids of the Blues, basically every song was a hit.
Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 2005, consisting of eleven CDs, one DVD and a full-color 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. According to Rea “Blue Guitars“ will be his last solo effort; however, he will continue to release albums as a member of the band “Memphis Fireflies“.
And your life
Is blowing over
A little faster every day
Better stop for a while
And it think it over
Cos you know for sure
You lost your way
Does what’s around you really matter?
is there something left undone?
A simple dream you left behind you
Now the truth has got you
Undone
Are you ready?
Oh tell me
Are you ready?
Are you ready? ...
Жизнь твою уносит ветер-
День наполнен суетой.
Лучше сделать остановку-
И подумать в этот вечер,
Ведь утерян был путь твой.
Что вокруг и правда, важно?
Что же не завершено?
То мечтой было однажды,
Правдой, знать что не дано.
Ты готов?
О, скажи мне-
Ты готов?
Ты готов?
