The New Era of Blues
It seems to me that Chris Rea present us to "New Era" of the Blues. Certainly who watches this show percives that something is new in the way he plays and composes his blue songs. Perhaps it can be defined as "Rocky Blues" with fantastic electric guitars solos and something that tries to approximate rock and blues. Particularly I think he represents what happened in the 70's and 80's blues' transition, I mean in that time blues went to a more sophisticated instrumentals accords with more popular lyrics.So, Rea presents now to us a transition from that time to a new way to make Blues, what we can define as Rocky Blues. We can't also forget an excellent guitar player Rea is. An Excellent DVD that is worth buying and make reflections for next generations of the blues.

Chris Rea Farewell Tour
Chris Rea - The Road to Hell & Back - The Farewell Tour [2006] is ok but to me it is like listening to Chris Rea Accoustic would have like more drums on Julia version.

Hell & Back - then some!
This is a quality DVD filmed in Birmingham. Although the music content is not all of his well known hits, the guitar playing is fabulous. I have only one complaint, and I've informed the supplier of this, is that listed on the back cover are the details of the tracks together with the information of a bonus track, 'Fool if you think it's over'. Unfortunatley this does not appear in the DVD, but nevertheless, a great asset for all you Chris Rea fans. The full title of the DVD is:- Chris Rea - The Road to Hell & Back, The Farewell Tour.

A great performance by a true professional and his band
A brilliant two disc set. They are pre-owned, but play perfectly. The case is in a book format with graphics and interesting narrative inside. Almost like old LP's used to be! The suppliers packaging was very protective and the delivery time was good.
