Chris Rea - Til The Morning Sun Shines On My Love And Me (Birmingham Symphony Hall)

Chris Rea Live from 2006 - The Road To Hell And Back “The Farewell Tour“. Til The Morning Sun Shines On My Love And Me from Blue Guitars. Album Number Nine - Celtic & Irish Blues. The Road To Hell And Back “The Farewell Tour“ DVD Filmed live at the Birmingham - Symphony hall • April 18th, 2006. Τhe DVD captures a brilliant performance on Chris Rea’s farewell tour set. To the the delight of fans present on the night, Rea delivers a balanced set of his greatest hits (Road to Hell parts 1 & 2, Stainsby Girls etc) along with selections from his more recent blues/jazz/roots orientated releases. The hits work because they are presented in a stripped back, simplified way that represents more closely how they were original conceived and written (as Rea says in the accompanying documentary DVD - all his songs start out as blues songs). The recent cuts benefit from the live renditions, delivered as they are by a collection of rather excellent musicians who have worked with Rea for quite a long time.

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“. Lyrics: It’s a dream I know We all know so well Everywhere I go She’s only one step behind I could search the world over But I’ll never be free ’Til the morning sun shines Oh my love, and me I have taken so many Turns on this road I don’t know east from west North or south which is best? I will never know now The best way to be ’Til the morning sun shines Oh my love, and me I went looking for my home On a cold winter’s day Waved goodbye to my best friend As he faded away Somewhere between fortune and reason to be I found out there was only one thing That really mattered to me Oh the busted and the lonely Are my only true friends Feel like a wounded old fighting dog Waiting for the end I’ve exchanged all my victories For just a short time to see The morning sunrise On my love, and me.
