Slow and very melodic. If you are chris Rea Fan, Blue Jukebox sounds like a beautifully aged "Road to Hell" Album. If you expect a fast Chris Rea album you will be deceived. If you have yourself aged with Chris Rea's music, this album will be a jewel, specially after being heard 3 or 4 times.
If you are new to Chris Rea's music, start with "Road to hell" instead.

One of the best from Chris Rea
I have to say that this is the best Rea's album I've bought, and I have many!. I'm a big fan of Chris Rea, and I like both his blues and rock songs. Although this album had many melodies from previous ones, but it was so distinct in it's use of Saxphone. If you liked stoney road you will love this one.


The howling Bluesman is born
Pouring out what he had hidden for more than 20 years. Chris Rea is back again. He is the new meaning to the blues. After his surprise masterpiece double album, "Dancing down the stony road", he is here to tell us that he wants to "Paint his jukebox blue". The album is the continuation of his Stony Road CD with the addition of some excellent Saxophones. Rea plays less guitar but properly and magically. The voice is still the king and the music is a nice accompany for lonely nights. The best cuts in my opinion are: Long is the time, hard is the road; Paint my jukebox blue and Steel river Blues. Beutiful arrangement, Jazzy bluesy mood (reflective of his JazzeeBlue label) and masterful musicianship makes The Blue Jukebox a pioneer effort in Rea's resume. The howling bluesman is born. Thanks for the inspiration.
