It's out - officially

[Pottel]

The 11 CD set is a pretty amazing undertaking considering the scope of it, but it ends up sounding like 150 versions of Road To Hell. I'm kidding of course, but even though Chris Rea is covering all kinds of blues styles, he doesn't have a broad enough musical palette to make it varied or interesting enough to last 11 CDs.

True.

I did think about that, too. Pls don't get me wrong. I really do appreciate CR, but the box "The Return of the Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes" is beautifully made although a bit repetitive.

I find it somewhat disturbing to read about Chris Rea and Duane Allman every second post in this thread, sorry folks...

It is hard enough to keep up with all the posts these days, give me a break!

Ah, come on. It's just to span the time 7RonaldoMUFC needs to upload the next song.

Now it's Yon two crows.

Love it.

How about Ry Cooder then?

Now, how about Phil Collins?

Talking here about Phil Collins is out of the question! (Just kiddin') Well, Collins isn't really my cup of tea in general musically. Though I like some of his songs and some of the Genesis stuff.

Ry Cooder is a great slide player too. Everyone should imho have seen this:

That guy isn't my cup of tea, too. It's some kind of running gag in here. But our Dustyvalentino likes him a lot, just because he is his neighbour, I reckon.....

Great stuff.

Anyone listened to Ry Cooder's latest CD? It came out last week I think. Very political, but some awesome tunes on there.

Ok thanks for the hint! I'look into RC's latest album.

I've listened to the leak.... and honestly I don't find a song that bring me in the sky as usual happened with the combination vocal/guitar of our hero...

I'm thinking that the best of this record is the opportunity to have a 2013 tour.....

And it's clear that MK is a great songwriter.... but this record have too many songs "standard style", not "MK style".... that is always the higher.....

I'm a little disappointed.... too many songs .... and not top quality songs.... IMHO
