Chris Rea - If I Ever Get Over You (Blue Guitars, Blues Ballads)

If I Ever Get Over You, “Blue Guitars“ Album Number Seven (Blues Ballads) Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 2005, consisting of eleven CD’s, one DVD and a full-colour 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 CD’s 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“. Album Number Seven - Blues Ballads With the incorporation of the piano and other new elements, such as swing and jazz, according to Chris Rea a somehow “sleepy morphine-induced style“ came to be, which is a pretty accurate description of those Blues Ballads. The original, primitive influences are no longer recognizable, replaced by a calmer, smoother, more polished, yet nonetheless still recognizable, style of Blues. All that constituted the Blues in the past is still there. Tracκ list: Last Call (Blues Ballads) Maybe That’s All I Need To Know Deep Winter Blues If I Ever Get Over You I Love The Rain My Soul Crying Out For You If That’s What You Want There’s No One Looking What Became Of You My Deep Blue Ways Lyrics: When tomorrow comes The first day for me That I will rise Not so young But free Gonna paint the town The brightest red A drink for every time you said That we were one Always to be I leave at home the ring you gave to me And I will smile As the sun comes shining through If I ever get over you I’m gonna laugh No more the silent one Dance upon tables Never home ’till midnight been and gone I’m gonna through away All my clothes so blue Gonna try everything that’s new And when tomorrow comes The first day for me That I will rise not young but free I will smile As the sun comes shining through If I ever get over you Somebody said this new life That I have come to know I should have tried it Oh so many years ago The glimpse of freedom Sings such a happy song It’s such a shame that it’s only there Only there for one And I will smile As the sun comes shining through If I ever if I ever Get over you...............
