review : 

Chris Rea's voice has been maturing to a whisky-soaked growl in recent years, and The Blue Jukebox should wipe away any last, lingering bits of his MOR reputation once and for all. His voice--pitched somewhere between Mark Knopfler and Tom Waits--is the perfect accompaniment to the world-weary jazz of The Blue Jukebox. Since recovering from serious illness a few years ago, he's detoured far from The Road to Hell, taking his sound right back to fundamentals, and in the process become one heck of a blues singer and guitarist, leaving contemporaries such as Eric Clapton in the dust. The slide guitar, shuffling beat and low-wailing sax of "The Beat Goes On" are even reminiscent of former indie darlings Morphine--quite a feat for a man in his 50s. Most impressively, many of the songs here--particularly "Monday Morning" and "Long Is the Time, Hard Is the Road"--have a certain timeless quality, in spite of being Rea originals. The Blue Jukebox is the ideal late-night album, and more than just Rea's best yet--it's a genuinely exceptional collection of soulful, blues-drenched jazz. --Robert Burrow
