“The Blue Cafe“ is the fourteenth studio album by Chris Rea, released in 1998. A confident and consistent album, The Blue Cafe combines Rea's atmospheric songwriting with larger doses of his slide guitar playing than usual. An overlooked talent of his, it underlies this collection of contemporary sounding songs rooted in dance beats and blues.
