Product Description
Following his sell-out UK & European tour in 2010, and 2009’s UK top ten album Still So Far To Go - The Best Of Chris Rea, one of the UK’s foremost singer-songwriters returns with his first new material in over ten years. The elaborate three-CD and two-DVD The Santo Spirito Project will include a brand new studio album, featuring "Dancing My Blues Away", "Never Tie Me Down", "The Chance Of Love", "Rock & Roll Tonight", "Electric Guitar" and "The Last Open Road".

Additionally, The Santo Spirito Project features two bespoke feature films on DVD, written and directed by Chris. The first feature is a raw and brutally honest chronicle on bullfighting, featuring neo-classical and Spanish-themed gypsy music. The second feature follows a man on a search for the truth in the city of Florence, a journey he may or may not wish he began. The music to accompany both films will be contained on two CDs. Here, Chris explains his rationale for such an ambitious project:

"I love creating things and passionately believe artists should be looking to try new ways of bringing what we do to the public. There should be no rules whatsoever and, for God’s sake, there are alternatives to TV talent shows. Sometimes, those who have had extremely good fortune in music allow only X Factor type TV shows to set the musical and cultural agenda of this country by actually doing nothing new or different themselves."

Wasn't he sick? I hate to say this, but I thought he had died. Glad I'm wrong (I'm sure he'd be glad too)!

This "first new material in ten years" is very misleading.
Since 2001 he has released a double disc blues album Dancing down the stony road, a jazz/blues album The Blue Jukebox, two instrumental albums, an 11 disc boxset Blue Guitars charting the development of the blues containing over 130 new songs and a triple disc box set of new material.
That's all not counting a live album and a few new tracks on Best of compilations...

That must be about new 200 songs in the last decade..


(He was sick - in 2000/2001, and before that)

I was a late convert to Chris Rea, but count me in as one who will be checking this out. I've become quite a fan!

Picked this up...have not watched the movies but the album has disappointed me.
Three of the tracks have appeared before on older albums (one each on Road to Hell II, Blue Guitars and Hofner Blue notes).
Most of the rest blend into one noise with little standing out.

Pains me to say it but, words that came to mind when listening include:
Bereft of ideas lyrically & musically.
Lazy.
Churned out this album with little thought so Rhino would release his movies with it.
His vocab remains very limited. If I hear blue/blues/sky/grey/wind/dancing shoes again I'll explode.

What a pity. A great talent but lacking quality control.
